Isn't the universe expanding into the past as rapidly as it is expanding into the future.?
In realativity, Einstein showed the connections of space and time into a single continuum. So as the universe expands away from the moment of the big bang, it constantly expands. So then as the universe expands evenly in all directions, and in fact increases in speed and acceleration, much like the way a loaf of dough rises with yeast, then the Universe should be expanding time as well as space. What I mean is that maybe the center of the big bang is 15 Billion Light years away from the "edge" of the universe making it 15 Billion years old. But next year the unvierse won't just be 15 Billion and one as it moves into the future, but it will be 15 Billion and two, because time itself is being created. And since we are in the middle of it (being the fulcrum point of observation) the creation of time will make just as much past as it will future.
Yes?
No?

Thank you deus. Arrow of time, like hawkin says. but if the arrow only direction for us, then that allows for imaginary time to exist in the universe, invisible to us just as our third dimension of space is invisible to the two-dimensional plain. The eponential day is exactly my point, but from the universes point of view. To us little earthlings we'd hardly notice, i mean we hardly notice the moon moving the tide around. But to the big bang, the days Really are turning into years and the older it gets, the older it's ever been. what's funny is that the crazy creationists said 5,000 year old universe might have been right once. A few centuries ago. HA.

Times arrow points to one direction: the future. Space is expanding but not time. If that were the case the age of the universe would increase exponentially with its size (ie, each day would become longer and longer)

There are many theories one what will happen, I like the big crunch explanation. Which means because of the density of the universe everything that is expanding will stop accelerating and be pulled back in and make another big bang.
