@InertialObservr is it possible for time to go from (-infinity,infinity)?

Sure, t is just a continuous parameter.

Just to be clear, could that happen physically? I won’t be so surprise if it works well mathematically but physically?

There is nothing “physical” about t=0.. it’s just what we choose to be the “start” 1/2

Having said that, the interval you asked about is non compact in both directions, which I suppose may have physical implications.. I would say no, because time (as we know it) is only non compact in one direction (as far as we know)

Here’s why I ask, An apologetic argued that “if the past were infinite, it wouldn't have a beginning, which is impossible, therefore the universe had a beginning” Mathematically, it doesn’t make sense but idk about the universe.

The fact that somebody doesn’t know the basic distinction between induction and deduction, frightens me.. though I’m not surprised, since it’s coming from an apologist
