Which lasts longer? A million years in which nothing happens, or 10 seconds with 50000 events crammed into it? In other words, really, time is only experienced by the events which occur within it, and I maintain that the early universe had very little going on and consequently time moved very, very slowly. The character of time as we approach the present is that there are more and more physical domains, and energetic domains in which change can occur. For example, the early universe was a pure plasma, a pure swarm of unassociated electrons. You didn’t even have atomic systems, let alone chemistry, molecular chemistry, life, complex speciated life.
So when I say time is speeding up, what I mean really is, more and more is happening. And if you ask the question, Well, what would be the ultimate state of connectivity, or of happening? It’s when all points are connected to all other points.
