The "Cosmic Time Hypothesis" (CTH) presented in this homepage is based on such a general principle, that is, the postulate there is a cosmic (absolute?) time, the beat of which is defined by the expansion speed of the universe (= velocity of light).
Thus, it presents the logical continuation of the path Einstein took with his special and general theory of relativity, but did not go the full way. Paul Davies also offers a similar opinion: "The revolution introduced by Einstein remains incomplete. We still are waiting for a complete understanding of the nature of time".
The CTH could again bring us one step closer to the target of a better understanding of the term „time“ .
Following Einstein’s recommendation: “one should make things as simple as possible, but not simpler,” the CTH is developed on the basis of a couple of axioms, generally accepted today.

1.    Introduction

We must bring the sensually perceptible world  and that imaginable by definitions into accordance.
Whenever observation data pile up which don’t fit that theory competent for their explanation, the science faculty branches into different groups. Presently, the cosmology faces this situation. The conservative group keeps clinging to the big bang theory, the standard model of cosmology, and tries to integrate new experimental findings by modified or supplementary theories. The “progress” group, growing constantly in the past years, nurses doubts towards the correctness of the big bang theory. Some even believe it is going to fail altogether, due to available observation data.
For instance, Halton Arp [4] and Hans Joerg Fahr [5] point out no distance- depending age structure exists as demanded by the big bang theory, but new galaxies and stars build up at all times and in all places of the cosmos. Even in our cosmic vicinity, a young proto galaxy is believed found, which has not even has started to build massive stars [5].
According to the conventional theory, there should be large quantities of diffusely distributed hydrogen gas un the universe
[4], p. 120: “ But objects mainly consisting of uncondensed hydrogen simply cannot be found.”
Halton Arp therefore believes the big bang no longer presents a viable theory and must be replaced by the continuous creation of matter. Will the big bang really be abandoned, as H. J. Fahr [5] has predicted? This question is, in my opinion, by far not clearly decided as yet, because the big bang theory was, just recently, coercively confirmed by measurements again:
The  Hubble space telescope and the 10 meter Keck telescope in Hawaii were able to collect important information on the properties of the intergalactic medium and on cosmic background radiation in far distances which are in agreement with predictions of the big bang theory [6]. At first, it was detected an extensively ionized helium plasma exists between the galaxy heaps, hereby supporting the statement of the big bang theory, helium must have already existed in the very early universe.
At second, it was measured the temperature of the cosmic background radiation increases with distance, i. e. with growing red shift, which is also in agreement with the big bang theory. This provokes the question whether the big bang theory can be modified in such a way that it can sufficiently explain all observed data. Probably, we only need a new point of reference from which the world appears to us in such a way the main problems of the big bang theory (problem of the horizon, problem of galaxy formation, problem of planenarity) are solved all by themselves?
