He did not make any such argument. Aristotle wrote stuff down, Hugo.
If the universe is infinitely old, how did Today ever get here?

Gunky answered this question for you already.
Gunky already answered this question for you.
I'm not. I'm just wondering where you come up with your magick numbers.
Irrelevance fallacy.
You don't get to speak for everyone, Sybil. Omniscience fallacy. The time unit is specified (a year). Where did you come up with 13.7 billion years?
That wasn't an explanation. We do not get arbitrarily dropped on an infinite timeline out of sheer coincidence. Time unfolds sequentially. Our place in time is 13.7 billion years after the Big Band, and I don't see how it's logically possible we could have passed through an infinite amount of time prior to the Big Bang in order to reach today.
Any attempt to arbitrarily 'drop' us onto a point on the timeline, or invoke circular or cyclical timelines are equivalent to invoking miracles, or invoking Eastern religious concepts of time. It's not scientific or logical.
Cosmologists came up with the widely accepted value of 13.7 billion years since the Big Bang. You should have been taught this in 7th grade science class.
Apologies.
When I used to dabble in psychedelic drugs this was a very intriguing question. Now I just leave it up to god to keep track of and count my blessings each day. Whatever a day means to me.

On a related note, I was reading one of MIchio Kaku's books, Hyperspace, and on page 163 (see here as page 172 or 366)
He showed strings and gravitational force interacting and I recognized that there was a parallel between what he was saying and electrical theory using inductance and capacitance, particularly in coaxial cable. That got me thinking, What if there was a resonant frequency of the universe, like you can have in electrical circuits?

Yes it was. The number 5 is a specific number in an infinite series.
Random words ignored.
Time is not a sequence.
What Big Band???
You weren't alive 13.7 billion years ago. Where are you getting this number from?
The Theory of the Big Bang has no time before the Big Bang.
Random words ignored.
A line is not a circle.
Buzzwords are not miracles.
Nothing special about any Eastern religion concerning time.
Yet you are trying to make out to be.
So...no one. You just made up the number and are trying to quote unnamed 'experts' to justify it.
You are not discussing science. Science is not a class.

In this case, the quantum state of the universe.
What do you mean, specifically, by the quantum state of the universe? And how does it "resonate"?
You of the left don't believe in yesterday - only a perpetual now that conforms to party goals.
It sounds like the drugs did so much brain damage, your mind has lost it's ability to consider basic scientific questions.

A resonant frequency in electronics is one with minimal resistance to the passage of the signal. That is, it allows the signal to travel the furthest without degradation. In terms of the universe, it would allow various quantum and subatomic particles to move without resistance essentially. Of course, this is all speculative on my part.
According to the Many Worlds hypothesis, there is a single universal wave function that describes the quantum state of the whole universe. I'm not sure exactly how resonance ties into this universal wave function and the Many Worlds interpretation, but I bet at some level there's a relationship.

You aren't discussing science, Sybil. Science is not a question.
