@Ibix , that's accurate, an atomic clock, which measures energy-level transitions, will be out of sync when compared to a mechanical one, this is indeed what I am thinking. I didn't understand your statement initially, my mistake.

I do tend to see time as an abstract construct, which is more of the realm of a convention, as an aid, not an actual physical property woven in the fabric of the Universe like, let's say mass. I would rather see entropy rates being relative to different frame of references and contextual, taking place of what you are thinking time should be.
