THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE

As predicted by Alexander Alexandrovich Friedman in his solution to the general relativity field equations in 1922, and verified through red-shift observations of distant galaxies by Edwin Hubble in 1929, the universe appears to be expanding.  The Metric Expansion of Space leads to some interesting notions about our perception of reality.  But one of the most interesting concepts to come forward is from José M.M. Senovilla and his team at the University of the Basque Country in Spain.  His team has offered a solution that has time slowing down and disappearing from the universe.  While certainly not main-stream thinking, the proposal offers some insights into the reality of time.
