Because the simple explanation of why the universe is so old relies on the equation
time = distance/speed
it means that if time wasn't constant then that changes the outcome of the equation to a possibly wrong answer, just like if the speed of light wasn't always constant (which I think it always has). Either way I'll check out the 5 videos and see what their arguments are.
That is silly as time/space (distance) are part of the same matrix, and there is no consistent theory or evidence of non-isotopic change between the dimensions of space time with the evolution of the universe. Except to assume they were for some reason dissociated then re-associated again later (here's the important part) FOR NO REASON. That is, equivalent to assuming the stars aren't there at that time but their photons are. Silly.
