If What I am Saying Is True:
Now if what I am saying is true, then the time it takes a second to pass in outer space would be different than the time it takes a second to pass on earth. This is true, here is an exert from: timezone.com: http://www.timezone.com/library/archives/archives0072
About the difficulty of clock synchronization:
Time could only be "coordinated" for "inertial frame of reference" i.e. for object in translation at constant speed (a postulate of Einstein's relativity is that the speed of light is the same for all inertial frame)
The earth is NOT a inertial frame because it is rotating. Therefore the speed of light is not constant (Sagnac effect)!
A clock moving westward at a slow speed (no relativistic effect) and arriving at it starting point would retard by about 200nS compared to the same clock at rest!
Gravitational field affects time.
A Earth Centered Inertial (ECI) frame is used, and clocks at REST in that frame can be coordinated.
GPS satellites are in motion (eccentric orbit) in the gravitational field. Therefore they broadcast data so that GPS receivers can factor in clock correction (correction not required for GLONASS system)
GPS clocks readings must be corrected to account for motion and gravitation. GPS clocks are slowed to about 5x10**-10 before launch (gravitational effect)!
So here we see the relationship between time, speed and gravity are already well known, so I did not just make that up.
If what I am saying is true, then all the other objects in the universe would also be absorbing time and we would be able to see it because they all would appear to be moving away from us. And they all do appear to be moving away from us.
Check out this link and see how everything I said should occur if gravity was the flow of time, or more accurately the absorption of time by matter, has already been observed

Gravitational Red Shift
A shift toward longer wavelengths of spectral lines emitted by atoms in strong gravitational fields. It is also known as the Einstein shift. One of three famous predictions of the general theory of relativity, this shift results from the slowing down of all periodic processes in a gravitational field.
The amount of the shift is proportional to the difference in gravitational potential between the source and the receiver. For starlight received at the Earth the shift is proportional to the mass of the star divided by its radius. In the solar spectrum the shift amounts to about 0.001nanometer at a wavelength of 500 nm.
In the spectra of white dwarfs, whose ratio of mass to radius is about 30 times that of the Sun, the shift is about 0.03 nm, which can easily be measured if it can be separated from the Doppler effect. This was first done by W. S. Adams for the companion of Sirius, a white dwarf whose true velocity relative to the Earth can be deduced from the observed Doppler effect in the spectrum of Sirius.
The measured shift agreed with the prediction based on Einstein's theory and on independent determinations of the mass and radius of Sirius B. A more accurate measurement was carried out in 1954 by D. M. Popper, who measured the gravitational redshift in the spectrum of the white dwarf 40 Eridani B. Similar measurements, all confirming Einstein's theory, have since been carried out for other white dwarfs.
Attempts to demonstrate the gravitational redshift in the solar spectrum have thus far proved inconclusive, because it is difficult to distinguish the gravitational redshift from so-called pressure shifts resulting from perturbations of the emitting atoms by neighboring atoms. See also White dwarf star.
Gravitational redshift has also been detected as temperature fluctuations in the observed cosmic microwave background. In 1967 R. K. Sachs and A. M. Wolfe showed that large-scale fluctuations in cosmic density should lead to different gravitational redshifts of observed microwave photons; the measurement of angular temperature variations therefore gives direct information about the mass distribution.
This effect was observed in 1992 by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite, and has become a key tool in measuring the initial density perturbations from which cosmological structures are believed to have formed by gravitational instability. See also Cosmic background radiation; Cosmology; Relativity.
Now the difference between what I have been saying is subtly different, My conclusion from the results of these observations was that time flows and is absorbed by matter, causing gravity, while they claim gravity is a force, and describe gravitational fields.
