Time as having no beginning and no end? Isn't this the description of
eternity? Timelessness? If we understand time as something which measures
or expresses a relationship between motion, distance, and objects then a
temporal plane such as the one in which we live is separate from an eternal
one by the nature of the two. I confess to vast unfamiliarity with
Hawking's theories, but my imagination tells me that to travel the
distances of space (as we measure distance), we not only must overcome the
distance involved but time. This doesn't mean time as in going faster to do
it in less, but to travel in some way as to make our current understanding
of time irrelevant. Perhaps this means, then, that we find some manner of
entering eternity as a method of overcoming both distance and time.

This, by the way, is beginning to sound like a crossing point of scientific
and theological constructs.
