So......"time does not exist", and "time has no begnning or end".
Gosh! That's probably the smartest thing I have ever heard! - That
something that "doesn't exist","has no beginning or end".
Isn't that kind of like saying: "There is not an invisible stop sign
where we don't think it ever was?"

Hi Jeff.
I realize the statement seems contradictory. When I say time does not
exist, I mean it is a concept. For example, a line between two points
is a concept. The line does not exist, but the two points, which lets
say are two people, exist. But the line is still useful in
descriptions.
When I refer to time again and having no beginning or ending, I am
refereeing to the concept. For example, in the big bang theory, there
is no "time" before the bang. In my theory, "time" would exist before
this, because time is the change in position of matter, and matter is
always moving and changing, even before the big bang. Likewise matter
will allows be changing and moving, thus time (the concept) will not
end.
I thank you for your thoughtful input, please continue discussion here
or on the citystates.net message boards.

Wesley,
Thanks for the prompt and intelligent reply. I, myself, am into a new
type of physics called: "Reality Physics" where time is very real, the
reasoning goes like this: You say: ", a line between two points is a
concept. The line does not exist, but the two points, which lets say
are two people, exists". > I say: "the line repersents a REAL PHYSICAL
DISTANCE between the two points, let's say two people [you and I]. If
the line (DISTANCE) wasn't there, we would be next to each other, but
we are not, so the distance (or line) between us IS physically real,
much more than just a concept, since concepts are NOT physically real,
and cannot put real physical distance between people. The passing of
time has to be physically real to continually create the real distance
covered by the clock's hands as they physically rotate around the
clock's face. Would you consider the actual, physical distance covered
by the clock's hands as only a "concept", or something physically real?
In Reality Physics, the background referernce of the universe has
always existed, and will always exist, and is infinitely large. Our
"Big Bang" is just one of the small ripples in a very large pond.
