In quantum mechanics, time is universal and absolute; its steady ticks dictate the evolving entanglements between particles. But in general relativity (Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity), time is relative and dynamical, a dimension that’s inextricably interwoven with directions x, y and z into a four-dimensional “space-time” fabric. The fabric warps under the weight of matter, causing nearby stuff to fall toward it (this is gravity), and slowing the passage of time relative to clocks far away.

More & more physicists are now of the belief that gravity and space-time are emergent phenomena of our universe. This article is mind blowing in that it is really about the effort to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity towards a grand unified theory that explains and takes into account true aspects of both.
In order to do that, one must solve the "problem of time". From the article:

It also brings the "Holographic" universe model into it. A short and incredibly interesting read. Enjoy!

yes...
- problem is, it's all but our present time-dimension of this solarplane, they are studying
so they search but inside a house of Mirrors...
this artificial solarplane reduced timedimension by [as it looks now] a fractal 8
as is our perception of magnitudes reduced to [as it looks now] a fractal 3
hieroglyph UNNUT, "time-dimension"

Your response interests me a great deal but I'm afraid I'm finding it difficult to understand.
Can you elaborate a bit?
Thanks.

Hook me up with your dealer.
That's nothing really new. After developing general relativity, Einstein tried to do that but never succeeded, nor has anybody else to the point it's recognized, but the effort continues. Time isn't the only issue with reconciling the disparate theories, but it is an issue as the article says.

Time slows a little near Earth, a little more near Jupiter, and a lot near a black hole.

I am having a hard time understanding. To pose a question, does time slow near Jupiter as Jupiter has a much larger mass and gravity than Earth?
Yes and the astronauts have already traveled in time, though not very much. Sergei Krikalev holds the record:
If so wouldn't time travel be possible depending up your location?
cosmonaut Sergei Krivalev has traveled in space – the most of any human with a total time spent in orbit of 803 days 9 hours and 39 minutes – he has actually time-traveled into his own future by 0.02 seconds.

It depends on how far out they go. Actually astronauts do age more rapidly the further out they go so that's absolutely true and proven in experiment. You can't find any source saying that's false. In low earth orbit the velocity effects outweigh the gravitational effects, but further out the gravitational effects dominate and time was passing more slowly on Earth than on the moon for the Apollo astronauts because the Earth has more gravity and their velocity wasn't a big factor once they landed.

When astronauts go out into space, they age less than the people on earth -- directly correlating Time with Gravity. The further you go out in orbit, the slower the clocks tick -- not the other way around. Otherwise, Astronauts would age more rapidly the further out they went, and we know this already to be completely false.
Why don't you look it up instead of bragging about being wrong?

In direct conflict with the above poster who says time slows near Earth and Jupiter -- it actually speeds up.
The bottom line, in Swingle’s words, is that “somehow, you can emerge time from timeless degrees of freedom using entanglement.”
