I've been doing a bit of reading into cosmology and it's pretty heavy going (being completly out of my field).
​
I've been reading about the big bang (please don't groan) and it seems to me that every thing is expanding (in terms of space/time): now, does it mean time as we experience time (with a directional arrow) is expanding, too?
​
Is this just some cock-eyed idea I've dreamt up by not grasping the maths and it's really a non-question or is time actually expanding in a measurable way (in the same way the expansion of space is taking place)?
