I will apologize in advance to those of you that are well versed in physics and are about to roll your eyes at my stupidity. I am absolutely untrained in physics but frequently read articles about quantum theories and particle physics. This leads me and my small mind to ponder a few points.

1. If ones mass is altered through acceleration or proximity to a source of gravitational force, and as a result of that, the nature of time is also altered for that individual; does this also apply to particles at an atomic or sub atomic level? For example is time different for a fast moving neutrino or a particle/wave of light
2. Today we say the big bang / inflation occurred some 13.whatever billion years ago. This is a measurement taken at our current time measurement of 1 second per second per second. Given the vastly different speed, and gravitational effects possessed by different structures throughout the universe; isn't time therefore vastly different throughout the universe and therefore is the universe 13.whatever billion years old everywhere? Or is it, say 8 billion in some places and 17 in others?
3. This one is way out there. I understand that the fabric of space-time is stretched and warped by the mass and therefore gravity generated by objects. So as these objects move through space and time, the degree to which space-time is stretched or warped would vary. Is it possible that this movement of the space-time fabric could exert or generate an energy (like heat in a wire that you bend backward and forward to break it), or maybe something like a space-time 'drag' that we perceive as dark energy holding the universes matter in place. Could this energy also produce the subatomic particles that pop in and out of existence?

Queue the eye rolling.

The whole of eternity is one instant for a photon.
