So, it seems it is expanding.

In contrast with true negative existence in which the acausal acts as bridge between the positive and negative aspects. True magic - something from nothing.
Completely wrong. Time exists, even though under debate. That means absolute nothing exists. See the contradiction? For what that does not exist, time does not exist either. Or rather time stops. My question is , can we observe what happens when time is stopped? Or in other words, is there anything to observe if time has stopped?
Time is considered as a dimension. In fact it is only a conventionality. Yet observation is made possible through this conventionality. In fact, everything is possible through this conventionality.
My question is , can we observe what happens when time is stopped? Or in other words, is there anything to observe if time has stopped?
No. In the scenario where "time stops" there is no motion in the universe, therefore no phenomenality. If time stops it would mean all motion in the universe has ceased. You cant very well observe anything unless you're phenomenal and that includes measurements of duration, location, and motion. Time is just the parameter that plots these things in 3 spacial dimensions.
In our multidimensional point of reference, our parameters (If in a computer program) would plot out our multiversal location with a time stamp, and refine from several more parameters like, initial conditions and laws of physics. There are actually infinities of infinities that mathematically go into plotting our theoretical multiversal location.
If you start at the highest dimensions and work in reverse you refine your multidimensional location:
Everything that is possible (10) -> All possible laws of physics with all histories with all possible initial conditions (9) -> All histories with all possible initial conditions (8) -> All possible initial conditions (7) -> all possible worlds with same initial conditions (6) -> a plane of parallel worlds with like laws of physics, initial conditions (big bang) with different histories to compare to our own (the Sci-Fi parallel quantum leap worlds go here) (5) -> time (duration) (4) -> depth (3) -> width (2) -> length (1) -> zero point (0).
There is also the question of the one dimensional strings that replace quarks in the subatomic spectre of it all. Well, you just attach every string to a membrane and now you have The Theory of Everything, which unifies several competing superstring theories in an admittedly contrived fashion.
But let's pull back and focus in 4 dimensions. The observable ones. Well, technically time is not observable. The important ones to our locational perception.
So what if that motion of that physical universe began to contract inverse to its expansion?
Due to something called "time reversal symmetry" time would still be a unidirectional measurement. It would not reverse in a contracting universe.
Time is just another abstract measurement of our location, a more precise parameter like, "all possible universal histories with like initial conditions".
Now in a single universe its' emergence is understood to be initially of spirit which is synonymous with time, but at this preliminary stage it is only time within, which is the same as saying there is movement(change or time) only within; without there is nothing.
But during the expansion this time becomes transformed and fragmented, so as to become change without(as within so without) as time that can be objectively observed as change pertinent to the universe, but not only that, but every microcosmic reflection of this primordial spirit now also can observe the time within itself, thus not only do we observe time as universal change, but also as a passing of moments within the microcosmic aspects yielding not only macrocosmic time, but microcosmic as well.
Edit : I lost part of a post and had a bit of difficulty reconciling.
The Big Bang. A cosmic soup that evolved into what? An arrow of time. Or in other words time is an ingredient still boiling in the cosmic soup, which hasn't already made its journey. In a way you might say this thing will expand, or return back to what it was. What is for sure, an infinite ways in which it may show itself , during when the measuring of time will always be false.
General relativity (space/time) has no relevance during the initial epochs of the universe.
Quantum gravity dominated pre inflation, preceding grand unification and symmetry breaking (electroweak epoch).
There's just no room for time to exist, except in quantifying how long these epochs lasted billions of years later.
You already have gone through 3 epochs (Planck -> Grand Unification -> electroweak) before you even get to inflation. And that occurred 10−32 seconds after the big bang.
It is actually the furthest thing from an ingredient to our universe, but a way to plot it's chronology in retrospect. It goes no further than the big bang and our observation of spacial dimension. It is the dimension of our phenomenal awareness. Without the existence of mass it is irrelevant.
And don't let the constants of; c, G, ħ, kB equalling 1 give you the false illusion of a master or design.
