If what's 10 minutes for me is 1 minute for you then relatively those are different times but objectively if 1 minute passes 1 minute passes, if 10 minutes passes 10 minutes passes. It doesn't matter what the clocks or watches say. You don't need time keeping for time to exist. Time is objectively what is at time T. Whether it's what was time T, what is time T or what will be time T and then is quite simply then and now is quite simply now.
You're talking about 'time passing' differently from different frames of reference. But science can only measure phenomenologically: it relies on observers and their tools and consciousness. Even clocks and watches are extentions of this because we have to be consciously aware of them to use them.
Objectively speaking does time even pass? I don't think so. Time is just a concept. All there is is now We don't actually experience time passing, it's an illusion.
Watch this video you learn more on that:
I don't understand what you are saying. Are you arguing that there should be one objective time for everyone? That's simply not true!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
