What was said
"In the expanding universe, it does affect time. It does. And I am proud to say I am a co-author on the first paper research paper to establish that fact."
Neil deGrasse Tyson says he co-authored what he describes as the first paper to observationally link cosmic expansion with time dilation. He adds that the lead author was Brian Schmidt, later a Nobel Prize winner for high-redshift supernova research, and describes using supernova light curves as standardisable measures.
