e=mc^2

i propose that matter absorbs/creates time itself.

when matter 'loses' gravity, from a method of movement/propellation, i believe that time is also effected, for instance when you fly in an aeroplane you will lose/gain a few microseconds.

i'd be glad to be proved wrong.

Closing Statement from griffin tucker

i was actually prepared to accept that the theory was wrong, but it seems i could be thinking along the right path to what may be true.

basically the theory is that gravity itself creates time fluctations. if you are travelling in a jet, you displace gravity, and the effect of time upon yourself relative to someone on earth is different.

i will try to keep an eye on the results of the LHC and investigations they come up with.

    Aug 1 2011: You've kinda got it right. Mass does effect time, in that the more mass there is, the slower time moves relative to someone in a weaker gravitational field. Also, the faster one goes, the slower time moves relative to a stationary point. However, matter does not lose gravity, at least not as a general thing. However, scientists at CERN's LHC and other places are trying to find the Higgs Boson, which will hopefully illuminate some of the mysteries of mass and gravity. But it appears that time is an intrinsic aspect of space itself, and as mass distorts space, so mass distorts time. But, as far as we can tell, time is not a thing to be created or destroyed. Where there is space there is time.

      Aug 2 2011: i am glad someone is thinking along the same lines as me.

      the quotes around " 'loses' time" were there because i couldn't find the right word to describe what i meant simply. i think you understand what i mean, so kudos to you.

      relativity seems to be the theories i am trying to investigate, but haven't had much time lately, what with problems with my computer lately.

      it seems to be working ok now, so i will try to reply to many comments a lot sooner.

      thanks for your time, Daniel Beringer ;)
