Anyone familiar with a theory that the universe is not expanding, but that time is accelerating, resulting in an apparent red shift of light emitted under an earlier and slower universal clock?

Slowing time or expanding space can alter our perception of time by making it seem to pass faster or slower. This is because our perception of time is influenced by external factors such as our surroundings and the speed at which we are moving.
Yes, slowing time or expanding space can be achieved through various scientific methods such as time dilation, gravitational time dilation, and cosmological expansion. These concepts are well-studied in the fields of physics and cosmology.
The consequences of slowing time or expanding space can vary depending on the context. In some cases, it can lead to longer lifespans and slower aging, while in others it can have a significant impact on the laws of physics and the structure of the universe.
Currently, humans do not have the technology or means to experience the effects of slowing time or expanding space on a large scale. However, some of these effects can be observed on a smaller scale through experiments and simulations.
While the concept of time travel is often associated with slowing time or expanding space, there is currently no scientific evidence to support this idea. The theories and methods behind time travel are still largely hypothetical and require further research and understanding.
