Thank you, I get it now.
I wasn't really talking about expansion per se...I was wondering if there's anything that affected the rate of flow of time...because initially I thought inflation affected the rate of time as well.
I wasn't really talking about spacetime as a whole...I was talking about space and time independently...
Although it's understood that inflation didn't have any effects on the temporal dimension, I can't really make sense of the example given...if it's an infinitely finite system made up of...
That's exactly what I thought initially, but later when I realized that Wikipedia (and many other sources) specifically talk about 'space' in Inflation Theory, I became doubtful...
If the inflationary epoch would've been longer/shorter, the rate of expansion of space would've been affected, right?
So is there any such 'factor' that might've affected the rate of flow of time? (I know this is a stupid question, but this just occurred to me right now)
"In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation, or just inflation is the exponential expansion of space in the early universe. " -Wikipedia
Since Inflation Theory specifically talks about 'space', does it mean that inflation didn't have any effects on the temporal dimension...
