"fast" is only meaningful if time exists. People bable on about time not 
existing before the big bang, but what if time actually had to settle down 
to what it is now. People also bable on about how time would pass 
differently for someone near a black hole (a very very dense object), so 
how dense was the universe at the time of the big bang (a little more than 
your average black hole I'd wager).
