What does it mean for something to be "logically possible"?
It depends on who is talking.
For most logicians, a logical possibility is an statement that does not contain any formal contradiction, as does for example the statement "A and not A".
For other people, I wouldn't know. Most dictionaries give all sort of definitions. It's just a mess.
Still, for most logicians, then, an infinite past is a logical possibility since the expression does not formally contradict itself.
More specifically, I think it must be easy to find particular but reasonable meanings of 'infinite' and 'past' such that there is no formal contradiction.
So, here is a challenge to all those who think 'infinite past' is a logical possibility: Express the same thing using clear definitions of 'infinite' and 'past' such that there will be no
formal contradiction in the result.
Beware that it will only be convincing if your definitions are sufficiently explicit and detailed, and if they do express the common usage of these words.
Posters could then vote for the best definition.
Any takers?
