Because of the effects of gravity and velocity upon

Such effects would likely have been significant during the first
microsecond or so after the big bang. It was a very big bang, apparently.
This discussion of "time" (something a human observer could only
appreciate in a current inertial frame) conjures up the conundrum an
amoeba might have in puzzling out whether to stir or shake a martini.
Bartender to the one-cell protoplasm:

Amoeba:
"Can you inform me as to the relativistic implications?"
Bartender:
"You can't bruise Vodka."
