'is impossible' is not easy to prove in science.

(Usually there is someone, who shows, that allegedly impossible things 
are in fact possible.)

So how would you like to prove, that time is 'part of gravity'?????

Gravity may eventually be related to time. But I would not say, that 
gravity causes time - eventually time causes gravity.

I  - personally - think about time as a local measure.

What we call 'time' is actually counting of repeated events, we find in 
nature and which we regard as occurring with natural frequency.

But how could we know, if the length of a second/ the frequency of these 
events is unchangeable?

We cannot really know, since if 'length of time units' could alter, we 
could not compare - say - shorter seconds with other seconds, since we 
always have only local seconds to compare with.
