space and time change when you travel.
People living at the equator stay younger than people living close of the poles.
so even if we we are bonded to a place , we are all some separated entities living in our own time and in our own space.

ask Einstein for more!I have to go out to buy some pop!

Thank you Mr de Batz-Castelmore! I did not realize Einstein had established the Lorentz contraction and hence the Lorentz transformations. Maybe Einstein (1879-1955) suggested it to Lorentz (1853 - 1928) when he was a child?
