RE the Star Wars Par-Sec: I thought the way that fixed their misuse of the phrase was that the ship was so fast it could go closer to Blackholes and masses with high gravitational fields as it has enough velocity to not get pulled into them.
You should read the Enders Saga books (film was rubbish in comparison) and there are some crazy theory's that make you think. Very open minded about science even though he's a Mormon and the great greatgrandson of Brigham Young.

I approve of this comment!
Time is a manmade concept to explain the expansion of space(-time) and the relative changes that occur over that period.
Space is continually expanding which stretches itself - it isn't the Universe that is moving, but merely the expansion of space-time in it's simplest theoretical form.
In space, there is still time. As the Astronauts/Cosmonauts are from Earth and have evolved to a 24hr routine, they will use this time period too. Yes, there won't be light/dark or weather, but life in space is damaging which is why they are limited to set periods.
High-energy particles, deadly radiation and of course space debris can be an issue in space for living organisms, even within the protective magnetosphere of Earth and the 'protective' capsule of the ISS.

I don't agree with the big bang or expansion of space theory. There was no big bang..
However everything in space is moving through space, our solar system and our galaxy are all travelling and rotating through space. Rather than the big bang i think it is more sporadic and random and organic in its growth. With galaxies and stars forming at random and at different times and locations. That is much more realistic than just a big bang and then everything exists in its current form, instead, planets, solar systems, stars and galaxies and so on are all growing. Everything in the universe peaks, it has a point where it starts and it has a point where it ends, in between those points there is a peak.
Time is not a man made concept, only the division or allocation of time units is the man made aspect of time. Time itself is linear and exists throughout the universe.

Have you actually looked at the big bang theory? What you describe is completely different to it.
The bit in bold especially, the big bang theory says nothing of the sort, not even close.

i'd have said it's the easiest dimension to traverse, i can do it with no physical effort whatsoever
But there is a time concept. We have created units of measurement for time, and we have devices which we program with these known as watches and timers.
The fact is you can use whatever the heck you want to measure time as long as you have a method of maintaining consistency same with any measurement. Like you can make your own unit called a cronoton or something and you might choose to make it equivalent to 42 minutes.

Do you have any suggestions on research then, specific to the big bang?
As far as i am aware big bang theory is that there was nothing and then there was a singularity which turned in to everything in the universe and it continues to expand to this day from this singularity. I was under the impression that the big bang theory did not account for the growth of planets or solar systems or galaxies. It just says that they appeared out of no where relatively close to its current state.

Wikipedia would be a good start, I'm not even being condescending, its great.

The big bang theory is often referred to just as the theory to explain the very first moments of the universe, but it can also cover the longer time frame events following that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang#Timeline_of_the_Big_Bang
The theory explains where the matter in the universe originally came from, and then there's various other explanations of what exactly happened in the time afterwards (dependant on what sort of time period you're interested in), and how that all adds up to the universe we know today, and where it will go from here.
Agreed! It always gets bad press for being Wikipedia, but for getting a general grounding and understanding in a new topic it's often the best place to start
Time is not man made, the units we use to measure it are.
Same as bit of wood on the beach 10,0000 years ago is a certain size even without units of measurement, these just make life easier/functional.
If I go by that outlook that time is man mad and does not matter in space I would love to go up there for 100years and come back same age as am now and hopefully this Generation (insert choice of word here) are all gone.

I wonder what the internet is like on the ISS, if they had gaming pc's could they play online FPS or would it to be too laggy? Actually they're very close to the satellite so it would be faster maybe?
Being closer to the satellite will make no difference. The data to/from the satellite will be transmitted via light (I assume?), so must travel at the speed of light. Moving from the surface of the earth into orbit will be such a trivial change in travel time for the data that it'll make no detectable difference.
