"Another exciting possibility is that physics was very different in the early Universe...."

Guess that shoots the hell out of their time-line.
How old is the universe? Depends on the rate that time was flowing back then.......

Cute!

To measure something, it must be compared to a standard. If you are not willing to consider the flow of time as a standard, then was is your suggested alternative?

The wavelength or frequency of the light emitted my a Hydrogen atom can be measured by time or by length. What standard would you consider the most appropriate?

Please be consistent with your answer and fully understand the implications that it may have.

Well, I don't know about "back then" but at 2:30 p.m. (EST) on a Friday afternoon it da*n near stops!

One doesn't have to be an Einstein to know that time is relative.

Of course, I'm not under a deadline by COB today. If I were it would be flowing past at the same rate as our river after Ivan hit.

Shalom.
