In our evolving universe, spac eexpands due to dark energy, causing regions with lower mass density to experience faster time progression than dense areas. Extrapolating this the lowering of mass density by expansion will speed up time in our evolving universe. This expansion causes regions with lower mass density to experience a faster progression of time compared to denser areas.

If expansion adds space, and time is just the process of accumulating space, then the rate of expansion directly determines the rate of time flow.

Of course we would not notice: 1 second would still be 1 second

Although the proposal challenges conventional assumptions, it is logically consistent. Here is a counter to the link you provided. The AI you quoted misunderstood the issue.

The mainstream view assumes that time is an independent backdrop that unfolds alongside the expansion of the universe. However, if we consider time to simply be the process of adding space, then an increase in the expansion rate would also imply an increase in the rate at which time progresses.

Key points:

1. Expansion isn’t just about galaxies receding; it involves the addition of space itself.
2. If time is directly tied to expansion, then a faster expansion rate would equate to a faster progression of time.
3. While gravitational effects can cause localised time dilation, this does not contradict the idea that lower mass density leads to faster global time evolution.

This challenges conventional assumptions, but it remains logically consistent..

Mass/Energy density decrease increases time flow rate.
increased time flow rate causes expansion.
expansion causes decrease in mass/energy density

it's a feedback loop.
