Re: Is "time" a measurable variable?
Wow you two got deep way too quickly for me to make a quick observation that clears the air. I shall endeavor to reread the above posts to figure out the minds of both sides, but in the mean time let's chew on this.
When Einstein initially formulated GR atomic clocks did not exist.
GR (in my own simplistic terms) states that gravity is intrinsically linked with time, and thus differences in the effect of gravity at two different time stations will cause a fluctuation in the passage of time (delta t) as measured by clocks at those two locations. This therefore would extend to a clock at the exact same station measuring time day to day. Gravity fluctuations at the station will cause the passage of time to speed up and slow down day in and day out compared to another clock at another time station (who of course is undergoing the same type of fluctuations due to gravitational fluctuations at it's location.)
Very tricksy if you don't think long and hard about it.
