I would say time is only relative because of how we scale it. The length of days and years is relative to the planet we are on whereas in space time is more of a means to showcase the difference in position of one body to it's previous position. In the past the earth and sun were just star dust and now they are the star and the planet. Of course this isn't anywhere near a good explanation of time. In fact I remember watching a program about time and how the narrator said that for us the present only lasts for 1.5 milliseconds.

Which I could begin to wondering....say it takes 4 years for us to get to another planet....take it over and mask ourselves so no one can tell the diffrence. Well what if 4 years are smaller than the "time" it takes us to perceive time...

Well actually those 4 years would be measured in light years then since for now the fastest anything can travel is light speed (which is a quantifiable speed). But I guess if you're on the planet we would still probably use earth time so as to be synched up with communications.
