Once upon a time; about a century ago, in the land of cosmology, the high priest postulated that observers in different time frames experience time differently.
Then the prince of enlightenment came along and suggested that different time frames were just a cunning way to circumvent a fatal flaw of lacking only one dependable variant (the clock) in his postulation. “Crucify the renegade. The audacity to ruin the beautiful theory,” the community shouted and quoted passages from the works of the high priest to discredit him. “Rather attack my arguments,” the prince pleaded to no avail.
