Shall I give you my short (unpublished in the PRE) disproof of the infinite past?
I'm not aware that this quote has been demonstrated to be factually accurate. If it has, I'd be interested to know.
Since the measuring ruler has not an infinite number, and any place on the ruler has a certain number, then the line has a finite size. Therefore, there is no infinite past and integers line (1,2,3,4,....) is only potentially infinite, but not actually endless. Then there is no infinite future (the time runs out, as the Christians believe), and no infinite space too. No infinite velocity, but the velocity has limit: the v<c.
The Kaku agrees: "Michio Kaku: It's The Collapse Of Physics As We Know it (Infinity Equation is Impossible)", YouTube.
