Accepted Answer

The amount of people that think it's "passed" concerns me.

Answer

If you are referring to a distance or period of time before now, use "past". 
If you are describing the action of "passing", then you would  use the word "passed".

"Past" is a noun, adjective, adverb, and preposition, but never a verb. 🙂
