The size of a time set is of the same order as that of the size of the set of real numbers, which is uncountably infinite.

Hello Rob,
In BB cosmology one uses cosmological time. It is the amount of time that has elapsed since the BB which is set at t=0. As a result cosmological time is strictly speaking a delta-t value not a time ordinate.
Cosmological time is a finite time interval.
