Time moves forward constantly at the speed of light, bringing everything with but when an object approaches sea, the universe struggles to facilitate its travel through time. Similarly, time dilation is experienced near a black hole because there is so much information being processed in such a condensed space. Time does not traverse distance, much less traversing distance in any particular amount of time. The answer is always, one second per second. I literally wrote that in my draft for the biggest ideas book just the other day. There's literally no other rate at which it possibly could flow at.
Welcome to the September 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
