No time for the Universe - - 10-23-2007, 12:51 AM

I got this crazy idea this morning while going back & forth with RascalPuff about time & motion. It's known that time slows to a stop/ceases to exist at the speed of light. Inflation is also pretty well accepted, i.e. the universe expanded much faster than 'C' just after the Big Bang. Would time have raced backward during inflation? Does that mean that when the universe winds down to an end, that time might just be winding forward back to zero?

Isn't that a bizarre thought? The lifespan of the universe actually being zero time in length?

What're y'alls thought on on this (I already used the word bizarre!)?
