Infinite time?

Post #1

It seems to me possible that there is an infinite time, specifically that of the past. All that would be required is for a previous event or cause (depending on you interpretation of QM).

I mentioned this, and was met with the objection, "If the past was infinite, then it would have taken an infinite amount of time to get here." I personally think this objection is pointless, so maybe if you think this is the case you could expound upon it. If you disagree, then if you could post your reasons as well I would appreciate it.

Also, if you disagree because of other reasons, I would like to hear them.

Until it comes to the end of time. :shock: :shock: :shock:
but your statement doesn't relay any meaning as you typed it.

Dogs can hear sounds that you can't.

What end of time are you referring to and why do you think that time will end?
Infinity, is a measurement of time.
What is going to happen, when it runs out of time?
