I can show you any number of physics books that assume an infinite time into the past. It isn't a *logical* problem. Whether it is reality is another thing. But the problem isn't the logic.
First, an infinite number of stars? If it wasn't apparent before, it sure is now--you don't know what you are talking about.
Second, if such a thing appears in "any number of physics books" then it should not be hard to paste a link so at least someone could explain it. SHOW US YOU HAVE NOT MADE THIS ALL UP! Is that asking too much!!
Again, what is wrong with having an infinite number of stars? Most are far enough away that the light hasn't gotten here since the start of the current expansion. But there is no *logical* problem.
What's there to explain? They use the whole real line to model time. That's it. No further explanation needed.
Let me put it this way: can you imagine a time for which there was not previous time?
