And like Mason posted - this is where your "theory" falls apart - the speed of light *is not*
- it is only based on mans' ability to measure using the best instruments (and the most accurate) that he has at that particular time in history - using the tools that are available today (pulse lasers and atomic clocks) we still see the effect of the slowing down of the rotation of the earth (an effect of the tides/oceans movements) causing the measurement of a second changing slightly - therefore it IS all relative
If you want to go to the philosophical side of things and say that time is a constant but mans ability to measure it changes daily - then I would say you have a good argument - but that has nothing to do with his perception - just his limitations
