In summary, according to this person, time does not progress at the same rate everywhere, the rate at which time progresses from one person's perspective relative to another's depends on each person's velocity relative to the speed of light. The person also asks for an explanation of why the speed of light has anything to do with anything. Finally, they ask for help understanding special relativity.
