Time traveling is just full of crap, innit?

"60 seconds is 60 seconds" only for people within the same reference frame. For people outside that frame, it's not 60 seconds.
Technically, no one is aging any differently.
Ship guy, experiences and ages 5 years. Earth guy experiences and ages 50 years. Relative to their time frames, they are both aging normally. Relative to the other's time frame, ship guy appears to have aged slower to Earth guy, while Earth guy appears to have aged faster to ship guy.
