If all you're going to say is "time is relative", then you might as well say "water is wet" for all the agreement we have. I'm just saying that what you think it means isn't what it does mean; which is a huge deal if you want to say you're not contradicting science. And you think that the mechanics aren't relevant? I wonder why that could be...
Look, all I've stated is that "time is relative" and just like your example of comparing it to the statement of "water is wet", neither statement should require any further explanation.

If I stated "water is wet", would you ask me what I meant by that? Would I need to explain the mechanics of wet water?
Why don't you do us all a favor and tell me what you seem to think I think "relative time" means...

You didn't simply state it; you put it forth as an answer for something. We are asking you to explain your answer.
