1) If Space and Time are one thing and Space is expanding then shouldn't Time be expanding aswell?
2) And as Time expands shouldn't Time slow down?
3) You can see physical evidence of this because, as the universe expands, the distance between galaxies and planets gets larger and so it takes longer for light or objects to travel through space. (For example: At the beginning of the universe, when it was small, then it should have taken only a short time to cross the entire universe).
4) But if time is expanding then, as time gets slower and slower, wouldn't Stephen Hawkings predicted "End Of Time" keep getting further and further away?
5) For example, imagine that you were waiting for a minute to end but the minute kept getting longer and longer. If the minute kept expanding then the end of the minute would keep getting pushed further back.

6) Also I wonder. If Space is expanding in all directions, could Time expand in all directions. What I mean is, could the past get further away aswell as the future?
7) Furthermore, if Time is expanding then wouldn't that make Time Travel very difficult? As a time traveller travels towards a future date that future date would be growing more distant.
