Hi Blue, have expressed this line of reasoning before. Any determination of 'age' concerning processes far removed from our Earth environment,
must include the position and situation of the observer.
Blue, consider this, take two scenarios, one observer in a low gravity
low speed environment, the other in a high speed, high gravity environment, would their concepts regarding the passage of time be equal? Albert thought not, that was a reflection of his 'time frames' theory. Blue, how we measure time is appropriate only to how we understand our 'local' time.
