Say there is a multiverse of 2. One is the size of our current universe, the other is the size of a tennis ball. How they function together is irrelevant; assume they both behave similarly to our universe.

From both reference points, does the other universe age slower, faster, or the same?

Why should we assume a "multiverse?" If we do assume that, then the regular universe decays 1 bajilion times faster, who cares, we are assuming random ****.

May as well assume the universe,as a gestalt, doesn't age (and is always current), but does appear to do so from the perspective of particular agents that do age.

We define time (which is what is being used when he is asking "age slower or faster") as the movement of some object. You define a day as the movement of the earth making a full rotation.

To ask "how much does something in that universe move while something in this universe moves x distance" seems a bit odd to me.

So this has nothing to do with special relativity? The celestial objects in the larger one move faster than the speed of light as it is known to the smaller one...I thought.

No, nothing to do with general relativity theory the way we know it as we have no understanding of if or how hypothetical universes are connected in spacetime.

that makes sense. I thought there could be inherent time dilation between two universes due to the size difference. I'm working under the condition that there are (a) smaller universes within our own/right in front of us; and/or (b) that the big bang was the result of a "singularity" explosion of a smaller universe; and (c) our current universe is heading towards another singularity type event.

All I know is that after you turn 50, you start to deteriorate faster. Possibly the universe acts the same way?
