      I think actions manipulate our perception of time and can make it feel longer or shorter, but don’t actually change the concept of time itself 🙂

      I read recently that there is a dam in China that is so large that it has slowed the rotation of the earth (this could be false) but if it were true, eventually it would have an impact on the length of our days.

      Similarly, earthquakes also change the earths rotation.
