Quasar 'clocks' show the universe was five times slower soon after the Big Bang (phys.org)

This doesn't mean you would know it was slower if you were there at the time. A second would still feel like a second. But, relative to us, it was five times slower.

I can't say I can truly wrap my mind around this one, but then again that's exactly why I love astrophysics news like this.

For me I understand that because matter was much more condensed, space was more warped, therefore time flew slower (relative to how it flows right now)
