I have just finished Dan Falk's book In Search of Time and no I don't know what time it is!
He has a lovely quote from Roger Penrose who has had a few thoughts on the matter. On p240 they are discussing the the Big Bang. Penrose is troubled by the interpretation of the evidence to suggest that there was a state of thermal eqilibrium at this time. This is a state of the highest entropy or disorder? Our universe has evolved from this!
Well it is Tree Time, of course!

Penrose seems genuinely troubled - to the extent that one can be troubled by events that happened 14billion years ago. .....( For the love of God, can you not tell us what the time is? ...Ed.)
I don't know why people haven't worried about this more...
