is the meaning of 'universe - all).

Isn't this a bit like the mathematician who defined his sheep into the
pen instead of opening the gate? Could I not just as truthfully say that
there are places in the universe where time has not yet gone?
Perhaps I can pre-empt the possible argument that any place where time
has not yet gone is not a "place" by definition, by mentioning that if
this is so, then necessarily the very early universe did not exist in
space because time could not have existed in the same way as it does
now?
Yours argumentatively
Warm regards
