Has anyone considered that *time* is not a fundamental property of the universe? Excuse me for saying, but I think that may pose a problem for General Relativity. Several equations become unsolvable or moot without time - probably related to the fact that they also break down under quantum theory.
In my (unprofessional) opinion, time is nothing more than an arbitrary frame of reference created by mankind to describe his surroundings, particularly motion, velocity, and the like. IF you accept that the universe is infinite; then it seems to me that motion and velocity are irrelevant.
Any attempt to describe inherent properties of the universe (or anything else for that matter) by using any variables or reference to anything other than fundamental properties of the universe are doomed to fail. In other words, the references must be made to a property that is not subject to interpretation based on frame of reference; mass for example.
Interestingly, when you attempt to describe mass at relatively high velocities (approaching the speed of light) it appears that mass increases, becoming infinite AT the speed of light. To me, that's because SPEED is a function of time and thereby the reference is flawed.
Anyway - enough for now, anyone else with more sense than me want to take a crack?
