Personaly I don't think the universe is infinity while infinite is just a human concept to zeros he can't understand.

As an exemple I give in my defence a hard-disk that holds informations. While you write numbers in a plain text the size increases. We would say it's infinity but in the end you wil still get to the capacity of the hard-disk.

Pardon me if this is silly, but how can you say that we cannot generate the concept of God, yet he exists, but we cannot generate the concept of infinity, therefore it does not exist?
And how can you say scientists can't grasp the concept of infinity?


I think you did not read my post correctly.

I never said infinity does not exist, you are putting words in my mouth I did not use. I simply said that the concept of infinity cannot come from man. That is a very different thing from saying it does not exist. I believe in infinity and by believing infinity exists and that there is something greater than our finite lives and greater than the constants we define as science, I believe in God.
And please do not insult me by calling me a religious freak.
I'm actually someone who believes in science just as much as I believe in God. I believe in the mathematical and physics theory that are derived from the concept of infinity and that only through science has our understanding of our universe grown and will continue to grow.

I simply believe that both concepts of a greater entity and concepts of science with factual proof and hard evidence are not incompatible.

there is no end... couse there is no wall

its infinite


Universe ends where material ends. So although there's indeed an infinite emptiness out there, we don't consider that to be part of the universe.

You should read up on the theories, then.

hypothesis: space mass and time are infinite. -ofc this means no big bang.

and infinite doesnt necessarily mean everything, it means never ending.

so there could be infinite mass and infinite space between mass.

nothing is infinite


the more appropriate word in this case would be undefined
