I actually vaguely recall an SR paper put forth by a relatively famous physicist that actually took the view that time was 'longer' in the past, to the point of being infinite at the big bang. This would mean the universe had always existed. IIRC, the model was mathematically valid and actually explained some observations well. Unfortunately, it did not match other observations.
While I think the OP is being, perhaps, unfair to Glass, I think everyone is being unfair to the OP as well. There are people who believe the perception of time speeding up is objective, for the reasons Glass mentions. I'm not convinced these are Glass's original ideas. And while Glass may not be a physicist, nor is Jenny McCarthy a medical researcher. And yet people still listened to what she had to say to great harm. So I can certainly understand why someone, especially someone recently exposed to people who really believe this idea, might be concerned with someone famous espousing those ideas in the way Glass has done, even if I can't see any harm myself.
