[QUOTE="Harte, post: 157159, member: 443"] What with both time and space being merely two different aspects of the same phenomena (spacetime,) it's just as likely that, if the expansion affects time at all, it could be speeding it up. [I][SIZE=5][COLOR=#00ff00][/COLOR][/SIZE][/I] Personally, I doubt this very much. We can see a great distance into the universe. Variable stars that are far away pulse with the same regularity as nearer ones. If time was altered by distance, would that be the case? Besides, why would one perspective differ from any other (assuming the velocity of the observer in both cases could somehow be made the same?) No reason for the readings to be slower than if measured on Earth. Earth is not a special place where time flows more rapidly than somewhere else. If such time variability actually exists, then there would be places where it flows faster than on Earth, and places where it flows slower than on Earth. Otherwise, Earth is a "preferred inertial frame," a concept that is refuted by relativity. IMO, the only differences in the flow of time have to do with the relative velocity between the different points of observation. There is no "standard" flow of time - everywhere you go, your own time appears to be the "standard" one whereas everyone else's time (those with velocities relative to your position) appears to be the ones that are distorted. Timeflipper: I have no knowledge of any time machine, though I have an inkling concerning how one might travel through time (though not even the hint of an idea of how to do this with any technology.) There can be no machine that accomplishes time travel - of that I'm certain. Manipulation of gravity - extremely high gravity - could accomplish it, but that's not a machine making you move through time, that's a natural force (gravity) being manipulated. Of course, I assume everyone here knows about the effects of time dilation at high velocities. That is a sort of time travel, though to experience it you must leave the Earth and subsequently return.
