In Einstein's general relativity, coordinates like x, y, z, and t are not only " relative " in the global sense of translations like, rotations, etc., but become completely arbitrary, so that for example one can define an entirely new timelike coordinate according to some arbitrary rule such as, where has units of time, and yet Einstein's equations will have the same form.
