I was about to give you perfectly on time birthday wishes but then I realised that the forums uses the American date format. Just thought you should know this for when I end up giving you birthday wishes late on your real birthday.

Yes, but that is in perspective to observers, yes? If things seem to be crawling for one while going by too fast for another, that doesn't mean its different for both. It's like throwign two kids into the same pond and one has more trouble floating to swim than the other; we can't blame the water for pickign and choosing who get's to
live and dieswim.... A sort of Duplicitous Duality, if you will. *Cough*
And what does that mean in regards to Pulsars? That they are the most reliable of a timely event to go by?
I ever mention I once dated the personification of Time? It ended very poorly, but we still keep in touch sometimes.

Well, yes and no. I heard a theory once that went like this:
The closer you get to a black hole for instance the more out of whack time becomes. If you were to look up again from just shy of the black hole (at least I think it’s from just shy of the black hole), and you saw an outside observer, you would see them grow old, decompose into a skeleton, and turn to dust before your eyes. you would also supposedly see the entire universe end as well.
Meanwhile, the outside observer would never see you cross the event horizon. You would slow down more and more and appear redder and redder as you closed the distance to the horizon. Eventually you fade away. But even though you saw the observer die, for him he’s alive and well.
As for pulsars, they’re often quite routine with their rotations. Every so often the slightly speed up (in a process known as a ‘glitch’) but for the most part, though They slow down over long expenses of time, they’re the most accurate clocks out there.
Did the personification of time give you a watch like when we dated?
