Hypothetical: sattelites clocks in space have been known to pick up extra time while travelling through space which we attribute to a direct relation to velocity. But entertain the idea that spacetime does in fact have an effect on objects that push through it, perhaps a force that is physically insignificant but also carries a charge of energy that is transferred by the interaction between the object and spacetime- perhaps not unlike the principal of a static energy transfers. Now given that 'time' is not recognized as an energy or as an effect of, but assumed to be related to velocity as a portion of time that is in truth insignificant considering the energy consumed to move the object at a speed capable of accomplishing the aggregation of extra seconds. If we consider time to be a form of energy in this example then we can logically proceed with commonplace principals of energy conversion to explain the appearance of a few seconds as an energy transfer that would occur alongside the velocity but not as a direct result of it. Instead the object's momentum in space and the force spacetime exerts on the object builds a charge in the object not unlike a static charge would build, except that when the energy is released instead of a spark or shock the energy is released as an excitation between the object and the fabric of spacetime and that connection to spacetime provides a brief break from the energetic force that the fabric of spacetime expresses, which is partly the passing of time and why we gained the time that the connection existed.
By entertaining the idea of time being an energy or energetic expression of the stuff that makes up spacetime we do seem to avoid a couple problems with the current ideas.
Time differentials become an easy idea to reconcile as we should observe a time differential if time energy was indeed escaping from behind the veil that keeps spacetime in order and resolving the energy emissions of spacetime as an entrophic energy we call time... Any thoughts? M
