I have no problem with calculus. I just know that calculus has it's own internal logical structure that has nothing to do with the way the world works. It's not a method to recreate the world. It's just a method for dealing with numbers.But they will pass in an infinite amount of seconds. It is a mind-boggling truth in calculus that gives a logical explanation of how infinity can be bounded by infinity.
You were concerned about the logical possibility of finishing infinity. Calculus gives a very logically sound explanation on how this could work. Remember, I get to say "could work" because I am only arguing against your positive claim.
Is it still a positive claim, or is it a hypothetical claim that it's possible time began?
That's not my argument at all. My argument just says it is illogical to conclude that infinite time has already passed. It is no more than that.It is your argument that needs time to be divided into quanta of time.
It says nothing about the division of time.
So are you saying that your argument allows for time to be continuous?
