My post on infinity basically says that:
The vacuum of space which could be looked at as a medium.
That is, it could be looked at as single and simple medium that contains all the matter, energy, forces, particles and structural entities of the universe (the cosmic matter web) within it. That is, the cosmic matter web of the observable universe is suspended within the fabric of pure space.
The post also states that physical size of the vacuum of space is infinite.
Also that the time span of this infinite medium is infinite, which means that time and space has and will always exist.
It further state that the Big Bang did not create space or time, as it had originally stated that this has always existed. It states that the Big bang only brought energy (a tremendous amount of energy, all the energy in the universe) in to the medium, known as the infinite vacuum of space or pure space, which i call the infinite void.
Ok,
This is basically what I am saying
Various scientific observations have shown that the universe has expanded from an almost infinitesimally point with a tremendous amount of energy to create our universe in its current state and size. This was the Big Bang. Now since our universe has expanded and is still expanding; it could be implied that it is expanding to new locations. That is, its peripheral points are expanding to new locations, new regions.
But one question is new regions of what?
So, would these new locations or regions have always existed or were they created in the big bang?
What would be the characteristics of the new, previously untouched, regions, which the universe is expanding through?
Would these regions be pure space, part of a void of emptiness or just the vacuum of space?
Thus, my question is what exists beyond the boundaries of our observable universe?
And obviously, something or some medium does exist beyond these boundaries because if it did not then the universe would not be expanding into it or towards it or through it.
Unless you think that time and space were created during the big bang; which would mean that since the universe is currently expanding; then simultaneously in the peripheral regions of the universe, time and space are currently be created, to make new regions or locations in space and time for the universe to expand into, towards, through or along.
SO, MY MAJOR QUESTION IS: WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS?

Assuming time never begins and never ends just like space I guess. Thus they are infinite I guess. It's a strange notion really. Hard to really get ones head around. Seems to more relate to how we view the world around us. The notion of future and past, mean you will surely do your head in if you think too deep about it.
QUESTION. If nothing ever moved physically, would time have any meaning ? i.e. if everything was frozen and did not age or change its physical form or composition in any way ? i.e if all matter froze, would time mean anything ?

Please read my post in titled "Infinity"
Located in the Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, New Theories section of the forum
The post give a relatively new look on time and space time of the universe
Here is an excerpt from that post:
"shows that regions or points in time are all relative to one other point in time; thus, all points in time, an infinite amount of them in the past or in the future, are relative to one point. Which is the reference point for time, and this point is exactly now, no wait it is exactly now, now, now, no wait a second, exactly now, no exactly this instant. Ok, from the illustration above it can be seen or it could be concluded that the reference point is the present (what we refer to or look at as now), and this reference point is not stationary, in fact it is motion or mobile. That is, 9 billionth of a Pico second, 2 Pico seconds, 6 Nanoseconds, 100 microseconds, 15 seconds, 3 minutes, 10 hours, 15 days, or even 6000 million billion trillion years from now will eventually become the present and will remain the present only for an instant. Since, if any point from now or from the present is consider to be in the future, it will remain or continued to be looked at as the future, until the instant it becomes the present, after which it will become the past. That is, a minute from now is looked at as the future or being in the future, at exactly one minute from now it will become the present and instantaneously changed in or become the past. "

Hmm one of the most perplexing concepts it seems. I don't think anyone really completely understands space and time.

I agree. That is because they are not 'separate' things. 'Time' IS the motion of Space.
