Time and space are intimately locked together into what Einstein called "space-time". The distance one has yet to travel during a trip increasingly contracts with increasing speed. This is entirely apart from the obvious shortening due to their having already traveled some of the distance.

Scientists refer both as one as in “spacetime.” Time is simply the fourth dimension and like the other three dimensions, is affected gravity and velocity.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Does anybody really care?

(Except maybe the pretty lady that asked me what time was on my watch).
