All they have done for 10 pages is assert they are right. Don't you find it at all puzzling that they can't produce as single person that can articulate their theory of an infinite block of time? In a very convoluted way, they are using abstract concepts that were never meant to describe the real world according to the people who use them.
I can't look up something on a theory that no one actually believes.
You're not paying attention perhaps.
Here's a YouTube video for you, since technical articles are understandably too much for you.
So he says it's a logical possibility at least, just like a finite universe is a possibility.
Two things. First, he said that if the universe is finite in time and space, all of our calculations work.
Second, he said that our best hope for an explanation is an infinite (in time and space) universe. He did not say that is what the theory is. He has no idea what that is but he realizes the consequences that if the universe is not eternal, an explanation is required for it. In other places he has called the universe a brute fact. By definition, if you consider something a brute fact, you have no explanation.
So, did he explain your theory? NO. There is no theory. He has the same desire as you--to avoid a beginning. Except he is smart enough not to try to tell us how that would work.
Care to try again?
