Apparently there is scientific evidence that movement affects the flow of time. How, I'm not sure. But I do know that einstein, and a successor of his both innovated the ideas of time travel. Einstein wrote the golden rule that you can never travel backwards in time, and his successor defied that rule. Both were correct, and both proved their theories correct mathematically. According to what I've heard, Einstein's successor(wish I could remember his name) didn't actually contradict Einstein either, he simply found a way around the golden rule which allows a person to travel backward in time, if conditions are right.
Anyway, I do think time travel is very possible. The experiments I was talking about earlier evidently conclude that if you place a clock in a second story room, and the same one on the first floor of the same building, the one on top will appear to be faster than the one on the bottom. In reality, the two are ticking at the same pace. But due to the earth's rotation, anything that is at a higher altitude is moving faster than something at a lower altitude. Thus, the sped up movement will cause the clock on the second floor to move through time faster than the one on the first floor. Keep in mind though, that this difference in speed affects time so little that the difference would hardly ever be noticable. I have heard of "atomic clocks" however, which tick 9 billion times per second and which, if one was placed at sea level and another on a mountain, would show for sure that the one at the higher altitude ticks faster.

I think you're separating the two a bit too much. The units of measure directly relate to the passing of actual time. I don't see how the original post in any way confuses the two.
