But a half infinite line [0, infinity) is of infinite length.  So is the 
mirror image (-infinity, 0] which could be an universe that alway was but 
comes to an end.  Negative integers a simple example: ... -n-1, -n, ... ,-2, 
-1, 0 while the more accustomed 0, 1, 2, ... ,n ,n+1, ... positive integers.
... Is Occam's razor sharp enuf to split hairs?
