if you can find a way to move 0% of the speed of light i would be impressed

speculation, as far as i know, not many physicists actually believe in an infinite past (at least not with any empirical data, of course some appeal to multiverse theory and quantum tunneling or big bounces and "rebangs", but even with my extremely limited knowledge on the topic, i would still claim this is a rarity)

Simple Proof:

If time is finite and matter exists, then matter must have been created
But this basic law, Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, shows that matter cannot be created
Therefore, matter must have always existed, and furthermore, time must be infinite.

What if matter was formed by the big bang (E=mc2)?

Again, another law states energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
Therefore, the same proof applies.

D2jsp and the lack of basic logic..

I spent way too much time arguing with people on the Flat Earth Society forums lol

how do you know gravity is even real and the flat earth is not simply accelerating upward at 9.8 m/s^2? The earth is the center of the universe and the outer "rim" spins at nearly the speed of light. The sun is a sort of "spotlight" that simply points at the earth and moves around. Circumnavigation is a deception of magnetism, and ships disappear over the horizon bottom first because of water vapors dispersing light. (lol ok i almost kept a straight face)

It really hurts my brain thinking of what it would be like with a finite past. Obviously nothing. But what is nothing?

You can barely talk about economics coherently, what makes you think you can adequately comment on physics?

Relative to my chair, the room, etc. I am moving at 0% the speed of light right now.
