This is not an example of time distance decay per se, as time distance decay affects every possible thing in the universe around us, but more of a brief definition.
Time is one of the three things integral to the Newtonian Physical laws, named after their discoverer, Isaac Newton, who discovered the laws in 1866.
Now, here's where it get a bit mind bendy. Time is a physical thing and, like all physical things, decays due to entropy. The universe is a system based on chaos, the simplest form of everything (for example: A sand castle is a rather unchaotic and reformed structure of sand particles, but a pile of sand can be rearranged almost infinitely randomly, and still look exactly the same), and so tries to revert everything to this state by way of atomic decay. This is why everything weathers and decays, even in the environments most suitable for their preservation.
Time distance decay is the name given to the phenomenon whereby time is gradually decaying, which will be perceived as a gradual slowing down of time, since the very start of the universe. Over the course of a human lifetime, the change would be negligible and not noticeable at all, but over billions of years, one second could drag to feel like what we now perceive as being one minute long. This will all lead to the eventual complete stop of time (at least in some theoretical astrophysicists minds).
