== Time slowing down == 
 :(Copied from  
 I take the point that my original draft saying 'it was time that was slowing down', was not technically correct. However, I think that the sentence reads better if we express it as a contrast. I have therefore reworded it again to reflect this.   
 :It may be more poetic this way, but it's false, so we can't leave it that way.  Can we arrive at something that is correct and succinct?  The parenthetical remark sitting there now doesn't qualify.
