<jats:sec><jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This article traces in as untechnical a way as possible the metamorphoses that Newton's absolute time has undergone at the hands of Einstein, only to come round almost full-circle in present-day Friedmannian cosmology. The recurring theme is that of moments being slices through the spacetime of history, and how these slices are affected by gravity.</jats:p>
