Indeed, we seem to treat time like a passive component, a constantly ticking clock, where I wonder if time is distance, and it's time that's expanding our apparent distance. We measure distance in terms of time, or in terms of energy required to cross a given distance in a given time, and I can't shake the idea that energy required is exactly time, and distance itself is the meaningless measurement. It's energy required in 3D that's expanding. That doesn't mean space is expanding, only that energy required in 3D is expanding. And, obviously, I'm not a physicist. If I ever get a second chance at school, maybe physics.
