Can something happen after a never-ending amount of things happening

Simple question, what are you guys scared of?

Looks like I finally found a question that stumped /sci/.

>>8126567
yes, if the series for the time converges, because then it only takes an finite amount of time

>>8126567
if time were infinite in both directions you would be in that scenario.

also you are an fagot

With surreal numbers, sure. But if you're laying a trap to spring some first mover bullshit on us, remember this: Just like a number line has no beginning or end, any arbitrary number can be picked. Similarly, an infinite or cyclical time/causal chain doesn't preclude a present.

What are ordinal numbers? What is the first limit ordinal [math]\omega[\math]?

>>8126567
You can develop a mathematical model were stuff happens at time $t_0$ and is preceded by stuff that happened at time $t_{-1}$, and so on. Whether or not this mathematical model corresponds to some physical reality is a borderline metaphysical question.

You need to use /math not \math

kek'd

this guy gets it

this thread is going in my saved thread of all time folder, maybe the last one to go there

you are all incapable of reasoning accurately about this, except perhaps the guy i quoted in this post

Guy I quoted in this post, what is your answer to the question?

>>8126567
there was a vsauce video about that

>>8127038
not him, let me try: [math]omega[/math]

link?

No you wouldn't. If time is infinite in both directions there is still no point from which an infinite amount of time passed to get to the present. If time has no beginning you can't measure how much time has passed since the beginning.

So... what would the Thevenin Equivalent Impedance of that circuit be?
