   A part of the big bang I do not hear talked about is time dilation   
   caused by dense mass. As this dense mass starts to spread out it is less   
   dense therefore less time dilation. Not accelerating away so much as   
   time running faster. What we observe for distant galaxies is a balancing   
   act between Doppler effect and the rate time passes. There is no way to   
   tell which is the greater of the two without a very long ruler.
