Rubbish there is a paradox and it's blatantly obvious.
INFINITE TIME IS THE PARADOX.
For something to have a start time can not be infinite OR IT IS BY DEFINITION A PARADOX and you can't talk around it or do psychological mumbo jumbo like TT wants it becomes a paradox.
How is infinite time, or for that matter non-infinite time, a paradox? Time either is or isn't infinite. If it is infinite then it just means that there is no "start" to the universe. Within that time the universe AS WE KNOW IT would have had a start at the big bang, and will "end" when it fades out into entropy, assuming that we aren't living in a "big bounce" universe. But infinite time doesn't produce incompatible results. I have no idea whether time is infinite or not. Either way we don't understand just where the universe as we know it came from. There are some ideas, but none of them have been experimentally tested/verified. We're pretty sure there was a big bang, but we don't know if there was anything before that. Maybe before the big bang there was an infinitely long period of nothingness, just empty space. Looking into the future right now it appears that the universe will keep expanding essentially forever. But there isn't any paradox to that.
For an infinity with a start point, try the infinity of positive integers. They start with zero and go to infinity.
