Based on factors like gravity and speed, how you see time depends on where in the universe you're looking at it. A minute on the moon goes faster than a minute on the Earth. A minute on the sun goes slower. Time on the sun is actually stretched out so that if you could put a clock on the sun, it would tick more slowly.

Introduction
Regarding the Milky Way where our solar system lives, the physicists at ESO, the European Southern Observatory, now consider the first generation of stars in the Milky Way galaxy was formed at about the time the "Dark Ages" ended, perhaps just 200 million years (in human time) after the Big Bang.

Brief summary of relative speeds and sizes (approximately) of local astronomical objects:
and about 1027 atoms in an average 70kg adult human being, (of which 45-65% is pure water, H2O).
Each red blood cell (having extruded the nucleus) is capable of carrying more than one billion oxygen molecules O2. The oxygen atom makes up the bulk of our mass.
Unfriendly viruses are much smaller, about 108 atoms, such as the HIV virus with its 64 million atoms that sneaks inside white blood cells – people's immune systems. Or coronavirus (such as COVID-19) with maybe about 200 million atoms that attack the cells inside the lungs.
Antibodies from plasma cells in bone marrow that fight infection are very small ~20,000 atoms.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made. May God grant us his
Two other issues, dark matter, a word invented in the 1930s, because gravitational pull could not explain all the motions occurring with the galaxies and the clusters of
and dark energy, a word invented to refer to the expansion occurring with the solar system, the galaxies, and the universe, (as a result of God's second day) without mentioning the word "God".
And yet he (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is so near to us. Acts 17:27
String Theory Click here re the wormhole tunnel, also referred to as the Einstein-Rosen bridge, first coined in 1957 by John Wheeler speculatively linking disparate points in spacetime.
We are aware of the three dimensions that surround us on a daily basis - those that define the length, width, and depth of all objects we perceive (the x, y, and z axes, respectively).
The theoretical framework of "string theory", aka superstring theory, posits that the universe exists in ten different dimensions.
The fact that we can perceive only four dimensions of space can be explained by one of two mechanisms: either the extra dimensions are compactified on a very small scale, or else our world may live on a 3-dimensional submanifold corresponding to a brane, on which all known particles besides gravity would be restricted (aka. brane theory).
A 0-brane is a zero-dimensional object, a point; a 1-brane is a one-dimensional object, a string; a 2-brane is a two-dimensional object, a membrane; and a p-brane is a p-dimensional object, for values of p up to 9.
Recent attempts to explain this have posited a hypothetical universe via string theory...

But these conceptions, conceits, refuse to acknowledge that God has for now chosen to hide from the world, under judgment since Gen 1:2. See too Exodus 24:10 and also the appearance of Earth from "outer space", from any place of "nothingness". Due to the 70% of the planet's surface that is covered with water, Earth appears like a sapphire stone.
Now, over to Genesis 1

Why does the apple fall to the ground?
Because it's attracted by gravity.
Why is it attracted by gravity?
It's because space-time bends around masses.

| One. | Gen 1:1-2 In the start God had created ("built") the heavens (literally "There, the waters") and earth (Dry place down here). Before the cosmos it is an ageless period — this picture is beyond our understanding.
The earth was waste and ruin with darkness (misery) upon the face of its depths and its surface under waters — stickiness — pregnant with hope. From some early Jewish writings: The light which was created before the cosmos was hidden by God beneath His throne; and to the question of Satan in regard to it God answered, "This light is kept for him who shall bring you to shame." At his request God showed Satan the Messiah; "and when he saw him he trembled, fell upon his face, and cried: 'Truly this is the Messiah who shall hurl me and all the princes of the angels of the peoples down even into hell'" Time Starts | |
| Second. | 7,750 million BC - 3,750 million BC | Gen 1:6-8 God declares an expanse, a hammering out ("raqia") to bisect this stickiness, separating waters above the hammering from waters below the hammering i.e. outer space, to a diameter of about 93,000 million light years (the observable universe). Names the expanse Heaven ("Shamayim") traditionally referred to as the second heaven to contrast it with the blue sky, the first heaven. Temperature drops to, perhaps, about 5.46 degrees Kelvin (about double the 2.73 degrees the universe is today) |
| Third. | 3,750 million BC - 1,750 million BC | Gen 1:9-13 Gathers waters ("mayim") together forming seas ("yam") roar. Dry ("yabes") earth ("eretz") appears and primitive plant life. The earth is much hotter in this "pre-Cambrian" age, there is less oxygen, and there are perhaps a number of "ice ages" on the surface, with frozen oceans, and with glaciers "grinding" mountains to powder. Earth's rotation is also faster, resulting in perhaps 450 days in a solar cycle (year) |
| Fourth. | 1,750 million BC - 750 million BC | Gen 1:14-19 Positions the greater light (the sun), the lesser light (the moon), and the stars to govern time upon the earth |
| Fifth. | 750 million BC - 250 million BC | Gen 1:20-23 Complex living creatures form (Cambrian explosion) sea animals and flying creatures big and small |
| Sixth. | 250 million BC - 2,000 AD (approximately) | Gen 1:24-31 Land animals formed, bovines, reptiles, mammals, early "homo sapiens". At the very, very close of the sixth day about 4,000 BC, creates Adam a unique homo sapiens to name and rule the earth. Sin (rebellion) violence and death encompasses all mankind, both young and old.About 2 BC, sends His Son to be man's Lord (and Saviour) |
| Seventh. | Reign of Christ for one thousand years. | Gen 2:1-3 Rest |
Starting in Genesis 2:4 we see the second picture of the seven day week — the scripture summary re "children of Adam", all made in the image of "Jehovah" God our Father, seen as three periods of 2,000 year groups (approximately), this is an old picture, many since
a. God-Adam (father-father) revealing his favour and wrath focused on children of Adam at the start in Genesis 2:7 until the flood and dispersion of peoples worldwide, all knowing "about" God, if not knowing him directly, much deception abounding, e.g. as recorded in Job.
b. then Abraham-Isaac (father-son) one-third of the way, revealing his favour and wrath recorded and focused on one place, one people, i.e. the Jews, with God "tolerating" other people's lack of knowledge, delusions "of grandeur"
c. then Jesus-Christ (son-Holy Spirit) two-thirds of the way, revealing his favour and wrath recorded and spoken about everywhere,
reaching up to today three-thirds of the way, with the Gospel message now preached via pre-called and pre-chosen saints, through radio, TV, Internet-smartphones, in every language, literally billions, reading and hearing about the Lord taking on our fallenness, with forgiveness, on the cross.
coming up to a seventh day (Christ's return and millennial reign through the Holy Spirit, when Satan, the deceiver, is "locked up").
