    Use a unit of time based on universal constants, like seconds, an earth year is roughly 31.5Ms.

      Was about to mention this.

      One would believe an atomic clock to show the same time in seconds despite the celestial body it orbits. Though, that appears to be a fallacy and begs the question, what about relativity? Two identical atomic clocks would show different times depending on the influence of gravity (like near-lightspeed travel), so does everyone carry a clock around with them?

      Or, at least that’s what I remember from physics class.
