This may be a bit off the subject, but may clarify what I was trying to say earlier-

Referring back to my statement that the center of the universe (for a lack of a better term) is wherever you want to put it because it is surrounded by infinity, time should also fall into the same category. If someone asked, "What was there before time?" I would have to answer the question with another: "Well, how long before time are we talking here?". You see time is infinite too. It has no beginning and no end. The present is equally far from the beginning as the end, because they aren't really there. We are and forever will be in the middle ages.

I might add, the present is past even before you're done saying it.
