Is Eternal Inflation Past-Eternal? And What if It Is?
  As a result of discussions with Bousso and Vilenkin I want to return to the
question of whether the multiverse is past-eternal or if there was a beginning.
Not surprisingly, given three people, there were three answers. However, the
discussions have led to some common ground.
  The multiverse being past-eternal, or at least extremely old has content and
potential phenomenological implications. I will discuss how the oldness of the
multiverse is connected with recent speculations of Douglas.
