If 5.4 x 10-44 is the smallest increment of time, how could the first event occur at 1 x 10-44?

  • The first event could occur at 1s x 10-44 because that time is after time zero. You could go on describing smaller and smaller increments of time if you wanted to (you could conceivably calculate the length of time it takes for light to travel across 1/1000000th of an electron, for instance), but there's nothing that you would be able to apply it to without being pointless.

Also does anyone have any references or sources to substantiate the claims made on this page? --Unsigned comment by the IP 68.228.220.56 (Please sign!)

I just deleted the statements I didn't believe. Possible support is at [1]. I found a couple sites that explicitely agreed, but one directly cited WikiPedia and the other was a question-answer area, with the question answered by an undergrad (who may well have gotten his answer from Wikipedia).
