I don't know.
There was a beginning (about 13.7 billion years ago),
but whether or not there is an end depends on whether the universe is closed or not.
(see 'big bang' & 'big crunch')
Time and EternityAs time is a dimension of duration in covariance or equilibrium with space, if the one were found to be infinite then it follows that the other would be also.Since time and space are currently measurable in units known as light years, which use the velocity of light as a standard to determine distance covered in time at a known velocity, then to measure an infinite duration of time extending through an infinite expanse of space would require a unit of infinite velocity.
Paradoxically, a unit of infinite velocity would measure everything it was applied to in no time at all and would have the ability to be everywhere at once. This is, in fact, a key ingredient of Eternity.
Proof that Time Cannot be InfiniteHere is a simple proof, slightly modified from Kalam, that suggests time cannot be infinite.1. An infinite amount of time has no end.
2. But now is an end in time.
3. Therefore, time is not infinite.
Looking at this from another angle, it is illogical to think that if an infinite past exists, that the present could ever occur. If the past is infinite, there isn't enough time to ever arrive at a present!

Is time finite or infinite?
Time as we know it is finite, because for us it is measured and always moves in a linear fashion ever progressing forward. To be infinite is to have no limits, no boundaries, no measure, and no foreseeable end. If speaking in terms of eternity, that is not time, but timelessness. Who can measure eternity?
Is it possible to check all the numbers that are solutions of an inequality?
Not unless you have an infinite amount of time as there are an infinite amount of numbers that are solutions to an inequality.
What is the time period of a simple pendulum of infinite length?
∞
Could any part of the speed line ever become perfectly vertical?
Assuming that the question refers to a speed-time line, the answer is no. It would require the object to be travelling at infinite speed and, to be accelerated to an infinite speed would require an infinite amount of energy.
How do you convert Infinite numbers to fractions?
In general, you cannot. An infinite number divided by any non-zero number is still infinite. An infinite number divided by another infinite number may or may not be infinite.
Does a line have infinite length?
A line does have infinite length because it exists on an infinite plane. The only time it does not have infinite length is when it is a line segment.
Calculate the value of sigma from the infinite series in C programming?
Not possible, summing an infinite series would take infinite time.
How does time exist if it's infinite?
A thing does not have to be finite for it to exist. Furthermore, it is possible that time is not infinite but when the Big Crunch happens, space-time will cease to exist.
What was the quote Elizbath said in BioShock infinite about how time is the thing that made her break not torture?
The quote that Elizabeth said in bioshock infinite about time was that "Time waits for no one"
Is months greater than time?
No, a month is a measure of time, time is infinite.
Infinite time on no fighting in the war room?
what?????????????

How do you get infinite noob tubes in mw2?
if you have scavenger on, you get another grenade every time you collect a pack, so its similar to infinite ammo.

Not unless you have an infinite amount of time as there are an infinite amount of numbers that are solutions to an inequality.
Is day the longest amount of time?
Infinite years would be the "largest" measure of time.
How long is time?
It has to be infinite :) OR if you want to be technical, 4 letters
How many people can play on minecraft at one time?
infinite
