I believe I refuted it a while ago. The room can be filled. Then the next one can. Then the next one. But customers will keep pouringinto the hotel and mindlessly filling rooms for all eternity. Each room will become filled, just not the hotel itself. I.e. to apply it to our actual debate, time will keep passing, but never reach a point where there is no more time.

You missed the idea. Not end as in there will be no future. End as in the conclusion of time to that moment. And now that moment. And now that moment. And now that moment. Etc. Every moment, if you believe spacetime to consist of discrete moments (since we obviously do not exist in all moments simultaneously), is the last moment of the ray up to itself. Then the next moment becomes the end of the arrow pointed to the right. Then the next.

Okay, I assumed you were talking about the end, when you used the term "end". Silly of me, I'm sure. But then, that leaves your post saying nothing more than "now is now" which is somewhat obvious, to most people. Basically it means that if we live in the present, which we do, I'm sure you'll agree, then we live in the present. Okay...

That's a nice diagram, much less crude than I would expect (or than I would be able to make), nice job. According to my theory, the galaxies are moving away from each other because of momentum, and their distance from each other, and the singularity from whence they all came, affects their velocities.
