Our perception of things is affected by our speed. So what is the ralative net affect of the idea that people on earth are all moving at the same speed (or close enough).

As too what exactly do I mean? I already said this was WAY beyond me!

Perception has no place in science. "relativity" is a concept that doesn't hold water.

time *is* it doesn't matter if the human perception of it has changed, time itself has not.
