There are NO proofs otherwise. And in this case the ONLY reason he's "wrong" is because you've said .999... != 1 beforehand.

Ok, I always trust wiki.



But don't start being an asshole because I have been polite all the time.

Tell me, is the universe infinite or finite?

But trusting math would be better.



It extends up to 93 billion lightyears from an observer (A). However, consider another observer (B) situated 5 million lightyears away from observer (A). What he will see, is also an universe of extending to 93 billion light years, but he will see further than observer when looking into the direction in which he is situated with respect to observer (A). And vice versa.

Therefore, this suggests it is infinite (as most of the theories suggest), but the line of sight is finite, since you can't really see anything coming from >93 billion lightyears, since nothing existed then. That's also related to why you see black everywhere. It's merely just the universe when there was no light in it. Things were so dense, that light couldn't move freely, as it now does.

That's what I vaguely recall from this topic, as I haven't been dealing with it for a while.



Here is something related to what I was just talking about. Therefore, according to this, at some point, the universe could've perhaps expanded momentarily at infinite speed, reaching infinite dimensions in finite time periods.

You know one interesting consequence of an infinite universe? That everything that's possible to happen is happening, and it happens all the time. Which means right now you are saying sorry for being a deusche, or maybe you're my wife and you're making me pancakes!

Btw, are you sure you don't mean 13 billion?

Yes. But it's not me. Since I'm right over here. This is similar to the thing related to infinite amount of time. Give chimpanzees a typewriter and infinite lifetime, and they'll write eventually Shakespeare's plays (and many, many more things).

Btw, you're mixing this up with alternative timelines.



Yes. I made a mistake in the beginning (13,7 billion ~14 bil.). But the universe does not necessarily expand at speed of light, it can be faster.

No, just because you can prove something doesn't mean it's correct

2/2 = 1
3/3 = 1
0/0 = 1?

No it doesn't but I proved it must do, if it works for any number it must for 0

No cat has 8 tails, one cat as one more cat then no cat, therefore one cat must have 9 tails? No it doesn't but I've proved it does.

Now don't be so retarded.

Pfft.
0/0 can be equal to any constant.



My methods are purely mathematical. Yours is not, you didn't even prove anything (learn induction maybe?). Reconsider who is the retard.

Nvm.

I had to rush :), can't be bothered to do a load of Maths, I spend a lot of my time during the day doing it

At least apologize...

I appoligise for ever doubting your extreem knowledge your holy one.
