Given your starting values, there is nothing to optimize:

> f <- function(x, A=10, b=152, T=100, c=100) A*(1-exp(-b*(x-T) -
c*(sqrt(x) - sqrt(T))))
> f(time)
 [1] -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf
-Inf -Inf
[16] -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf
-Inf -Inf
[31] -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf -Inf
-Inf -Inf
[46] -Inf -Inf -Inf

same with A = 500

So try to find a better model, or more sensible starting values.
