Before the Big Bang, Infinite Time

Disclaimer: My exposure to general physics, Relativity (general or special), Astronomy and such, being that they aren't exactly within my chosen realm of science, is minimal. That being said, I know already that I don't have the mathematical equations to back up this train of thought I am about to present. But as always, I'm open to ideas/critique/etc about my post.

 

I think it's safe to say that the Big Bang Theory and the Expanding Universe are currently the accepted models of the universe in it's current state. Both of these show the logic behind heavenly bodies having a red shift as they are in constant motion away from each other. This constant expanding would also, when traced back, show that at one point all the matter in the universe should have come about from a single, infinitely small point of infinite dense matter. Everyone on the same page so far? Good.

 

This infinitely small, infinitely dense matter would undoubtedly have mass and due to how dense it is, since it is the entirety of the universe would also have an infinite amount of gravity (assumption). If time really is relative based on the observer, time flowing faster for the observer closer to the center of gravity than that of an observer further away, then is it also possible to assume that all of time is compressed into that singular point as well? If that's the case, wouldn't this also agree with the theory that time was infinite prior to the universe expanding? The way I see it, this would solve the question of whether or not the universe had a beginning of time.

 

Am I incorrect in these assumptions or has this theory already been put into more scientific principle? Or is there a bit more that would still be needed to complete this (besides the obvious lack of mathematical proofs to back it up)?

A distant observer would see time flowing SLOWER closer in to the gravitational field, not faster. The observer in the gravitational field would see time flowing normally.

Sorry, I got that backwards. Still though, if the distant observer were to view a "sudden" expanding of that matter, it should still take quite some time for it to happen, relative to him. It would start out slowly, but increase in speed the more it expanded. From there, if I'm right, it would continue to accelerate, as it is observed doing already. Relative to us or the close observer, 14 billion years would have passed from then until now, but the distant observer would have seen things taking longer than that and so more time would have passed for him based on his acceleration and distance from the singular point at the time of expansion.
