Time does exist because the universe is always expanding. It's making progress over time. It doesn't just sit there.

How can it be flawed, though?
If we perceive some aspect of the Universe to be wrong, it isn't the fault of the Cosmos. It's the incongruity in our perceptions of what is and what should be that indicates 'wrongness' to our minds... and any discrepancy between what we believe reality should be and what it really is amounts to little more than delusion.
I posit that it's the human mind that's 'flawed', and only because so often it can't handle the idea that there really is no wall between it and the Universe that gave birth to it. We need to learn to smooth out these discontinuities between desire and reality not by forcing our self-centered and short-sighted will upon the world, but by accepting our continual experience of reality with grace and flexibility. We need to make our own decisions, not other peoples', and certainly not the Universe's.

I have a question.
What might the universe look like, if I had an eyeball as big as say, a large galaxy?
