Houlston Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Is the universe infinite and also within this universe does a multiverse exist & are they infinite If the universe is infinite then it stands to reason that within this universe are an infinite number of other universes, with an infinite number more being created every moment. The great thing about infinity is that literally anything and everything can, has, and will happen. There is another universe where Paul Lambert sells all of his squad, signs a number of people from VillaTalk and goes on to win the Champions League with them. Indeed and there is, in another universe, your post written but the T in Lambert is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2013 Quite big? You struggle with the idea of enormity? You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. Read this: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 One of many. In fact one of an infinite amount by all accounts. Hurts to even try and get your head round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 What happened to the scientists who thought they'd got particles (or whatever it was) to travel faster than light? It's all gone a little quiet. I take it they got their sums wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be an infinite amount of universes where everything is exactly the same. That monkey/typewriter/Shakespeare thing, basically it's bollocks.

They *think* that's the case because they can't recreate it. If you're going to tell the world Einstein was wrong you better be damn sure first.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Quite big? You struggle with the idea of enormity? Thanks to Stefans GIF I spent the entire weekend thinking/watching/reading about it. I can *just* about get my head around it conceptually. They say there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth. Well, you can just about visualise that. Even if there were double, triple, a million times that amount. It's the space in-between those grains that I'm finding much harder to visualise. Especially when you view the density of a galaxy from a distance and try to imagine that there are light years between its stars. Yeah, it's **** huge.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Oh yeah, I forgot to add, it's getting bigger too. At a faster rate. Or at least what we can "see" is, so 13.7b years ago it was. Who knows what it's doing now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Love all this talk. Recommend watching Stephen Hawkings universe for some interesting insights. My belief is that the universe will end after a certain amount of time - say 100 billion years because of the big chill, where everything is so far apart gravity has no effect and everything becomes cold and lifeless, eventually leaving no matter at all. Then it just waits for the next Big Bang to happen and it all starts again. The scary thing is that this may be the first time this process has happened or it could be the billionth time, Thats when the numbers start becoming quite intimating. Add in the fact that there could be millions of parallel universes all doing the same thing and it really blows your mind. The fact that it would take thousands of years to travel to the nearest stars using current technology when our galaxy is full of billions and there are billions of galaxies in the universe really takes some comprehension Edited June 24, 2013 by AVFCDAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted June 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2013 And yet a human being is as much larger than the smallest subatomic particle as the known universe is bigger than a human being. i.e on the scale of smallest to largest, where you'd probably expect us to be very close to the small end of the scale, we're actually about halfway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that in the book? Christ on a stick, another must-read, how the **** am I supposed to read them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
