Or time being infinite?

No, its the other way around. Some mathematicians got crazy while trying to understand infinites. For physicists infinite time / force / energy just means: "Ain't going to happen. Problem solved"matisamd said:As far as my understanding goes eternity is analogious to infinity and mathmaticians use infinity, physicists hate mathmaticians that use infinity becaue, as the french don't beieve custard exists physacists don't believe in infinities.

... it is unknown at present whether or not the universe has always had a timelike component.
Since the notion of "always" is only applicable provided that there is a timelike component,
it is true that "the universe has always had a timelike component".
what on Earth are you guys talking about. Most physicists I know accept infinity pretty well.As far as my understanding goes eternity is analogious to infinity and mathmaticians use infinity, physicists hate mathmaticians that use infinity becaue, as the french don't beieve custard exists physacists don't believe in infinities.
thats how i understand that anyway :) but i learned all i know from startrek reruns and topgear :D
time is finite when it comes to how long your brain will function! so quit the philosophical banter and study!zeromodz said:Or time being infinite?

You don't believe in the reality of Integrals?
We can perfectly calculate Riemann sums with integrals! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum
and this is infinite little bars!
Someone should delete these stupid posts.

In physics, eternity refers to a state of infinite time or existence. It is often associated with the idea of an unchanging and timeless universe.
The current theories and laws of physics do not explicitly support the concept of eternity. However, some theories, such as the multiverse theory, suggest the possibility of an eternal cycle of universes.
The laws of physics are based on observable phenomena and are limited to explaining the workings of our universe. They are not capable of explaining the concept of eternity as it goes beyond the scope of our understanding.
There is currently no scientific experiment or evidence that definitively supports the idea of eternity. It is a philosophical and metaphysical concept that cannot be proven or disproven through scientific means.
The concept of eternity is not a central focus in physics, as it is beyond the scope of scientific inquiry. However, some physicists may have personal beliefs or opinions about eternity, but these views do not influence their scientific research and findings.
