	Not enough hours in the day? Scientists predict time will stop completely Interesting idea. It could explain why distant objects appear to be speeding up.

	If the universe is still expanding then time should actually speed up since the distribution of matter will present a diluted influence on the ticking of a "clock". The evidence that the universe is expanding at an increasing rate hinges on the fact that light is shifted a certain amount due to the doppler shift. For me it is more palatable to look for other explanations why light loses energy ( i.e. frequency shift) other than the doppler effect as it travels untold miles to reach us from the far reaches of the universe.

	I don't believe it! Milankovitch cycles don't help either!

	Since big bang theory there is one crazy theory released per year like 3d universe is holograph, universe is located inside a black hole or time stops etc's hopefully one of them shoots into bulls eye in the near future. ____________ Mandtugai!
