Anything moving has to give up linear time and put up with shrinking (non-linear) time. If you got a space ship that sped up by 22 mph every second then it would feel just like earth's gravity was pushing you back. Riding that sucker for about 25 years would make your speed be so high that your time would slow to the point that you'd watch the earth die of old age at 5 billion earth years later. In fact, if your space ship could speed up at a faster rate then you could ride around while the entire universe fades away for all eternity.

This is something you're already dealing with in your own life; one example is the GPS in your car that has chips to adjust for this space time effect.  My being right or wrong doesn't matter.
