Why must time be infinite in both directions? It is equally infinite if it goes forward forever.



If we're on the plane of time that goes on forever, but had a start. It would be just the same as being on the plane of time that starts, and then ends.

The problem is whether or not time goes on forever before now.

Sorry for the double post. But as a side note, in quantum mechanics subatomic particles can appear or dissapear at random "out of nowhere".



You mean out of time, space, and energy? I'm talking about a void. Not a vacuum. By void, I mean completely devoid of space, time, matter, energy, anything. An infinite nothingness.
