I'd like to point out that I'm not at all claiming that there is an infinite past. I'm saying that dismissing the possibility that there could be, due to the difficulty imagining it, is (I think) an error.
Or rather, I should say, there was an infinite past. The fact that we're caught up in the reference points is what makes it hard to get our heads around it I think.
Again, I think we're missing pieces of the puzzle that make understanding "time" possible. Who the hell knows how it works as you push the boundaries back further and further. Not in ways we can easily imagine, I would wager.
