Is time constant in the universe?

Not only is the Earth not a fixed fulcrum around which the rest of the universe revolves, space and time themselves are not fixed and unchanging. In Einstein's universe, space and time are absorbed into a single, four-dimensional “spacetime,” and spacetime is not solid.
