When we throw a dice with infinite sides, what is the probability of giving one? Zero. Since time is infinite, how likely is the present time to exist? Following the same logic would be zero. But if we are in the present, then it is not zero so the time does not exist.

it's finite but unbounded

not infinte

OP if you would be willing to expand on these ideas, I'll get you published in the Journal of /sci/

The standard interpretation of probability states that a zero probability does not mean that is impossible.

"following the same logic" is where you went wrong here genius.

Events with probability zero can happen.

Infinity isn't a number.
Theres always a nonzero chance that you'll get a specific number on a single roll.

Also, this doesn't correlate to time at all because the chance for us to exist is not equal across all time, like you assume.

Furthermore, our seemingly unlikely existence does not prove time doesn't exist, because time by definition exists whether we're here or not, making your implication false.

You could say the same thing about space if you assert that space is infinite, since the probability of the space you exist in is zero, that must mean you don't exist.
