The recession of the galaxies &#8211; apparently goes to expansion only, never to return to a singularity. The above are discussed in G.W.Witrow&#8217;s book, &#8220;What is Time?.&#8221; Cliff]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is time immutable, or is it subjective?  Philosophers have debated the nature of time, and whether it is intrinsically ordered and has tense.  I have devised a mind experiment to show that time depends not only on the observer, but the observer’s position, that before, after and simultaneous are subjective.
