The fact you mentioned you are talking about your intuitionn not verified knowledge, was what kept the diacussion grounded, thanks for it. Otherwise, as you have been told, your intuition was trully false, and spacetime behaves in some unintuitive ways. Whats weird about it is that it seem to behave differently depending on where you are observing something from, thats cruical. Its all about point of view, literally. Wherever you are (earth, moon, space, near of blackhole), time and space will work normaly for you because you are there. But if you are looking how things are happening somewhere else, it suddenly starts looking very weird. You said that you would be surrounded by time travellers, and you indeed literally are. The boring answer is we are all tkme travelers, but the interesting part of it that if we accelerate differently (one going up the tower while other waits down), their times literally start moving different amounts, and when they meet, one is younger than another. The reason we dont notice is because we keep moving at very, very, very low fractions of speed of light where time dilatation is easy to ignore (must be mathematically compensated for GPS sattelites to even work, tho), but that doesnt mean its not ever-presently there.
