So lets say that a person is going closer and closer to the speed of light. Chemical reaction are based upon electrons, and they revolve around the nucleus of an atom. The closer the person is going to the speed of light electrons are going slower relative to the nucleus because electrons cannot go faster than light. And when the person is going the speed of light electrons cannot move in the same direction of motion so the cannot revolve around the nucleus effecting the rate of chemical reactions.

And when said person is nearing a single black hole electrons cannot move the speed of light relative to the nucleus in direction opposite of gravitational effect changing the rate of chemical reactions.

So my idea is that this explains the time dilation effect and basically says "time" dilation is questionable.

Except, among other things, most of the evidence for time dilation comes from particle accelerator experiments which do not use whole atoms with electrons circling a nucleus.

"Closer to the speed" of light relative to what ?

 

The nucleus has the same average speed as the electrons relative to an external reference frame so there is no difference in the relative speed between the electrons and the nucleus when the atom is going at near the speed of light relative to some reference frame (the what).
