Prior to the initial event that created the Universe (avoiding mentioning any Big Bang) there would have been one single entity containing everything that the Universe contains (law of conservation of energy).
Now, some time after that event, there are lots of entities, each containing a part of that initial entity.
There is no reason to believe that everything created in the immediate aftermath of that initial event is what we have today. We know that more complex particles are created in the cores of stars where there is sufficient pressure.
What are these particles created from? They are made from whatever that original entity consisted of.
Consider this. Over time, these building blocks impact with other building blocks causing them to split into smaller blocks. What you end up with is a sort of Universal Mitosis.
So, between 2 points in space we have a single block, which then becomes 2, 4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024.........
If these blocks determined the distance between these 2 points, then on observing the change it would appear that they are accelerating away from each other. Obviously, the further apart the two points, the greater the level of acceleration.
This says to me that there is no mastery of time, merely changes in distance giving the illusion of changes in speed. After all, they use the light detected from distance supernova to determine the acceleration and the speed of light is accepted as being a constant.

Surely what you are measuring is elapsed time, not time itself.
