Why does time exist?

A somehow sporadic answer is given in the following paper. It's based on an entire geometrization of space and time: If everything is built up from two space-like vectors using the Zehfuss-Kronecker product, there has to be a four-dimensional spacetime. It's not possible to construct a four-dimensional space with only space-like base vectors this way. Thus time has to exist:

How can we travel to infinity?
And how can we travel beyond infinity?

An answer to this question is given in the following poster presentation and papers. The main point of all this of course is: If someone calculates and tells you what happens beyond infinity or before the big bang or beyond the event horizons of black holes, do not believe him unless she or he uses surreal numbers in his calculations. Calculations using real numbers only will (almost automatically and nearly inevitably) be wrong.

A travel beyond infinity is a travel into the realm of surreal numbers.
