Matter is going to be the key to spacetime for we are the product of matter. Therefore, the bending of time will help describe matter and its changes but not time.
Time does not exist in the general perception of time.
When thinking about spacetime and the planets and the stars being millions of lightyears away, we barely exist as a memory. The whole life of a human being would be so negligible, one hundred years would not be equal to a second. The age of the Solar System, the planets, stars and the Sun would be infinite but like they had not occurred at all. Stars and planets suspended in space would appear like a memory of the beginning of the Universe. Lightyears would pass as though there were some other purpose for existence itself or the planets, the moon and the Sun. Spacetime could even curb the idea of existence. We are the stars and the planets that surround us just floating bits of the same chemical substance. You are made to feel we exist as an accumulation of matter like Earth itself. The suspended animation of time and space is as though time and matter did not exist but are infinite. So, time races along as the Earth circulates the Sun but goes nowhere and is in the gravitational curve of spacetime following the curve of the Earth or the Sun, we disappear like water through the clouds.
