Me too... however if I was going to post, I would argue he is wrong. Time doesn't "flow" at the same rate everywhere in the Universe. Both the General and Special Theories of Relativity state that. One great example of a proof for this is the fact the atomic clocks on GPS satellites have to run at a different rates than those on the ground in order to stay in synch.

Now... back to my extended weekend away from the computer...

Actually we have clocks so precise that they "see" a difference between the floors of a building. :-)
