 In that case, time is only countably infinite.

No. It "is not (like every individual transfinite and in general everything due to an 'idea divina') determined in itself, fixed, and unchangeable, but a finite in the process of change, having in each of its actual states a finite size; like, for instance, the time elapsed after the beginning of the world, which, measured in some time-unit, for instance a year, is finite in every moment, but always growing beyond all finite limits, without ever becoming really infinitely large." [G. Cantor, letter to I. Jeiler (13 Oct 1895)]
