Leaving aside the reasons why a time difference actually occurs, this thread looks at the reality that it does, and some possible ramifications on 'deep time' and a light year.
It is known that as we go higher from earth an actual time difference occurs. Like a wave, somewhat.
The calculation is this..
"Tick tock: The atomic clock calculated that for every 12 inches of elevation, 90 billionths of a second are added ..
The phenomenon -
...- has been demonstrated by putting atomic clocks on jumbo jets and flying them at high altitudes.
Just as Einstein predicted, clocks flown at 30,000 feet run faster than those left behind on the ground.
Gravitational time dilation can be seen in global positioning satellites which need to have their clocks regularly adjusted.

Fitting this pattern we of course also see a time difference in airplanes, satellites, and etc etc.
Here is the math....(this was done fast, so if I made a mistake feel free to correct it, all part of the fun)
If one foot equals about 90 billionths of a second time difference, then, to get 9 seconds we would need about 90 billion feet.
A light year has about, if my googling was right, about 5,878,000,000,000 miles. If we break down the trillions of feet involved in those miles, and divide that by the 90 billion feet segments each representing 9 seconds in time, the result would be a big time difference in one light year! If my calculations were right, one would need to set your clock ahead about 266.2 DAYS just one light year in distance away from earth!
That means a light year would not be a light year in time at all!
That means that the whole cosmo standard model would be garbage. Sizes, distances all of it!
That is a lot to digest and think about. On a side note, space itself is viewed as a vacuum. (Not a perfect one of course)
A vacuum is defined as such.. "Vacuum is space that is devoid of matter."
Vacuum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If deep space contained materials that were spiritual in nature, then this could not be considered matter. Bottom line..science really does not know. Really really really
[edit march 25 -- the time difference in experiment actually woulld be over 79 years...]
