Comment Comment by Retric > A set of dates obviously has an earliest date.Uhh, no you’re thinking in terms of a finite set. From the set of all dates, what’s the latest possible date, or conversely the earliest possible date. The temptation is to say infinite BC is the earliest possible date, but infinity is not a number. parent Retric 6 years ago
