Thanks for the ping!

IMO, (to parapharse General Honore), those of you who are stuck on "I'm the most important creature in the Universe, therefore God's 'day' must equal my (earthly) day" should spend a few hours reviewing the APOD archives -- before you refer to thoughtful Christians and millions of scientists as "unwise"...

Of a truth, correspondents ought to remember the relativistic nature of time when speaking of the age of the universe.

Of a truth, correspondents ought to remember the relativistic nature of time when speaking of the age of the universe.

So, if the universe is expanding, then time might be doing the same, and seven days 13.7 billion years ago was not the same as seven days now. It actually compressed more events into less observable time. Factor in the relativistic changes of time as a commodity traveling at near the speed of light as it spreads through the void, along with the universe, and you've got some serious, mind-bending computations going on.

Interesting how in a dream a simple "plot" can take all night to proceed.. and a complex "plot"(in a dream) can proceed during a brief nap.. its like time is not very important in a human dream.. like in a human dream... time is relative..

Ever notice that in you're dreams.?... I have in mine.. maybe human dreams are getting "us" ready for something.. so it will not seem strange to us when that something happens.. Since "we" experienced "relative time" all our lives..
