Re: Re-Expansion

So why would there even be time in the rest of the universe?

You answered your own question. Man, since he wants to know how long ago an event ie: big bang, he had to invent a scale of reference, that is, time.

Yes. 1/0 is undefined, anything divided by zero is undefined. The only point is as the denominator approaches zero the quotient gets higher without limit. It is like asking "what is the secant of 90o?"
It is 1/(cos 90o) which is 1/0
