Exactly what most people think it means.

Seems like an argumentum ad populum. If we lived
near a black hole, our seconds could be 10^6 times
longer than they are now. What would most people
think then?

Using a relative time standard that obeys the rules
of relativity to assert the absolute age of the
universe seems really strange to me.
