Doesn't entropy sort of suggest time isn't infinite? I mean, what's the point of time without anything happening?

For similar reasons, "eternity" has always seemed to me to be more of the absense of time than just an infinite amount of time.

Zathras, certainly one of the most whacked-out characters in a science fiction series. :)
