| Is it sane to ask was the speed of time in the past same as in the
present?


No, it would not be sane.
The speed of time is one second per second.
The speed of mass is one gram per gram.
The speed of length is one metre per metre.


| Would that account for red shift?

Two theories for red shift exist.
1) Doppler shift, expanding Universe.
2) "Tired" light, steady state universe.

Given that the energy from a point source of light in space
is distributed over the ever-increasing surface of an expanding
sphere, and that light arrives in packets called "photons",
nu = 1/Area * h/E is reduced as a function of distance
because area increases as a function of distance.
In other words, photons get "bigger" the further they travel.
This gif is supposed to represent two electrons in an atom
radiating spherically, and the interference gives rise
to two directional photons.

Viewed from either side, no energy is received. This is
the principle of phased-array radar.

Expanding universe is really silly.
