    Time is not a requirement of existence. Time is only required to mark change. An eternal, immutable being would not need time. Only in creation, when the Big Bang first occurred did time come into existence. There was a singularity but no time. not a true singularity since there was no time or space to distort, a distortion without creation. There was an energy, but still no time, then that energy began rapidly expanding. It was hot. At that moment time was required to mark the change in expansion and space was needed for the energy to expand. That is how the time space continuum first occurred. As some of the energy cooled matter came into existence, along with the laws of physics.

    Infinity is immortality, a continuing linear existence, but it is not eternal. Eternity is beyond space and time. It is unchanging.

    Why can you not imagine it. I can imagine a freaking unicorn and it's also not real. It might not be an accurate imagination but what is? When I think about infinity I think about it as a tag. Something might have the tag infinite, that means it might have certain other properties or uses and that means I can not use it the same way I do finite things. Meaning I do not define it by some arbitrary imagination but by the effect and use it has and by the way it operates.

    Infinity isn't a thing, it's a process.
