Sorry, I used the word universal in a way that is inconsistent with relativity theory.
I should have said.... The dynamical theory of motion known as mechanics and its subsequent revision known as relativity both require that space AND time are a-priori CO-ordinated. However, I now think the a-priori CO-ordination of space AND time is an unrealistic demand on nature and on ourselves (since we are apart of nature). This does not mean there is no universal time, it just means we can't expect space to be a-priori co-ordinated as well.
