You can move faster than events going on around you hence "slowing down time", and vice versa, but the essence of time says that you cannot slow and speed it up. Am I just being to logical? =\

Time is only relative to your reference frame & the reference frames can change, so the speed of time can change.

You cannot define time in a totally inert, unchanging frame.

Theoretically, in the grand scheme of things, linking time to a truly inert frame, it does not change... but that frame does not and will not exist.
