One college professor at my Alma Mater proposed a definition of existence: Anything you could poke a (hypothetically indestructible) stick at. So the answer would be no, in that if it did exist, you could not access it physically. Infinity might exist, but your experience of it could well be unphysical.

if the universe is really infinite, than: (prepare for the mindblow) * let's assume that we can explore and see the universe traveling faster than light * the more we go further, the more universe we see * we see different things, and even things similar to what we know * at some point, traveling veeeeeery far, we will see an exact copy of us, our sorroundings, our planet, our observable universe * this will happen again if you keep traveling. if will happen infinite times, actually * it will also happen every point you travel to starting from when you are now * you are literally sorrounded by and infinite number of "you"s, in every direction * in this moments, you and the "you"s are reading and realising the exact same things * you are thinking about each other * now * you are somehow connected with all possible Yous * keep going (or keep comning back). you will notice a copy of something like that, but at en earlier time * or a future one * you are now experiencing all your past and future life, infinite times, in every direction you look * right NOW * we're not done yet. keep traveling * you will now see a different king of you, just a little, from you now * there is an infinite number of little and big, huge, actually all possible combinanations of the (observable) reality that is possible by our lows of phisics kinda like the multiverse theory, but more likely. actually the only way it can possibly be, given that the multiverse is based on theoricphisics, but happarently there is some scientific evidence that actually suggests that the universe is infinite.

@jvae59 5 жыл бұрын

This is spot on. We must also explore the idea that there are an infinite number of universes as it is impossible for there to be any boundaries. At the moment our universe is expanding and we know there are three possible outcomes; perpetual expansion, steady state or 'bang/crunch/bang/crunch.....'. I prefer the latter where we are presently expanding into the space made available by neighbouring universes similar to an array of atoms in a metal rod vibrating about fixed points.

@thisaccountisnowdead.1967 5 жыл бұрын

@@jvae59 These theories are not founded on the observations necessary to make such a claim. Infinite universe, and/or infinite universes cannot, by definition, be observed. I encourage you, instead of thinking about the theories, to think about the nature of infinity itself. What is infinity? I do not believe in infinity. It's quite, (pun intended) irrational. It's actually simple when one thinks about it. If you have a staircase, and this staircase represents infinity, and it is continually growing higher, adding more steps, and the top step is always called A, and A is a point which varies continuously as the infinity grows, then imagine a second point, B. A is the top, the point which always grows. B is a fixed point, an infinite number of stairs below A. Which shouldn't be a problem, for the staircase has an infinite number of stairs. It gets weird when you realize that A must have been where B is at some point. A grew infinitely from that location, B. Can this be? No. Now, at this exact moment, we have two fixed points. Where A is right now, the top of the case, and B, an infinite number of stairs below A, and where A used to be. How can A, an actual, existing point, have traveled an infinite distance? We have B, which was A, and A grew from that point. There is an error here. A cannot travel an infinite distance from B. Why? Because infinite means just that, there will always be another stair to go before it is reached. No matter how high the staircase went, it could never reach infinity. That means that either there cannot be a B an infinite number below A, which means infinity cannot exist in that way, or that A does not exist, and did not grow an infinite distance. Think about it. Sorry that's not written very well, I hope you understand my point. That's why I don't believe infinity exists. And a circle, such as infinite bangs and crunches, would be that ass much as our universe just flat out always existing. I conclude that everything must have beginning. However, I haven't slept in two days, and now I finally have the chance, and what am I doing? Not sleeping.

I watched many videos on the subject of an infinite universe, and ALL of them, and I mean ALL OF THEM, fail to explain how we draw triangles from the cosmic microwave background. They always mental-gymnastic around it; it always goes like this: "scientists looked at the CMB [...] sphere, saddle bla bla bla... and the universe is flat; now fuck off". NO!!, you need to explain HOW!!.... HOW do you draw triangles from the god damn CMB ?!

@Reddles37 7 жыл бұрын

They don't actually measure the angles of the triangle, they look at the size of the patterns you see on the CMB. The expected size of the fluctuations can be calculated, and they can get the distance to the CMB by measuring the expansion rate of the universe. Then they just look at the angular size of the pattern: If the CMB splotches are bigger than expected than the universe is spherical, and if they are smaller then it is hyperbolic. It turns out that the size matches almost exactly, so we know the universe is approximately flat.

i don't think you need to study this. it's very easy in fact (in principle) 1. pick three random points in space. now get your spaceship and fly in a direct line from a to b to c. 2. actually, make that 4 points. you want to do this with a pyramid. fly from every point to every other point. 3. while doing so, measure the angles at the edges. if the 3d space you are in is flat, aka non distorted, everything will be like you learned in school. if the 3d space is distorted, you'll get weird numbers. now since we don't have a spaceship that can do that, we need to check what that spaceship would see based on the data we have available. i don't know the math behind it, but the principle should be approx like this: * imagine that we somehow magically knew the cmb should have a checkerboard pattern. but when we look at it, it looks like distorted, just like when you look into a swimming pool filles with water (+ waves) * by the amount of distortion, we can reverse engineer the flatness of space

I say that you were wrong on the last part. That in an infinite universe there are as many galaxies as stars etc. is not an actual paradox, just an unintuitive result. In set theory, it is possible for a set and its subset to have the same number of elements, in the sense that there is a one-to-one correspondence between them. So the set of all natural numbers and the set of all even numbers have the same cardinality. The same goes for an interval of real numbers from 0 to 1, an interval from 0 to 2, and the set of all real numbers. (In fact, this is almost the definition of an infinite set: assuming the axiom of choice, it can be proven that a set is infinite if and only if it has the same cardinality as some its subset.)

@patricks9599 7 жыл бұрын

Imagine you go in a straight line in an infinite universe. Wouldn't you eventually come to a place that looks exactly like the place you started, because the number of possible things is still finite in an infinite universe? Wouldn't that make a "real" infinite universe completely indistinguishable from a "potential" infinite universe, because in both you would always come back to exactly the point you started after travelling long enough?

@Jop_pop 7 жыл бұрын

It's actually true that in an infinite universe the number of galaxies would equal the number of stars. They would have to both have countable cardinality, since any finite sphere contains a finite number of each, and thus neither infinity could be larger. They'd both have cardinality aleph null. You can also see that the number would be equal by realizing that I'd you take each electron and pair it to the next star in the sky (the one next closest to yourself) you can create a one to one correspondence between the electrons and stars in an infinite universe. Thus the number of them is the same. However mathematically this isn't really a problem, it's just an apparent paradox since it is unintuituve.

@Wojciech940 6 жыл бұрын

I was always thinking of the infinity as being useful abstract. In my eyes, the infinity in math is the synonym for a "increasing without specified boundaries" or decreasing. It's hard to discuss it objectively since it's something math leaves unspoken for the philosophy.

because we did some measurements using (i believe) the cosmic background radiation which didnt give any evidence that spacetime is curved. it was basically the 3d equivalent of drawing a large triangle on the ground and checking if the angles add up to 180° to maybe see if youre standing on the surface of a sphere. stating the universe might be infinite is just saying its not impossible for all we know, since we have no evidence whatsoever for or against it.

@david21686 7 жыл бұрын

11:54 "The number of galaxies would seem to equal the number of stars, the number of stars would seem to equal the number of planets, the number of planets would seem to equal the number of atoms" But that's true, though. If the universe truly is infinite, then you could easily create a 1-to-1 correspondence between each atom of the universe and each galaxy in the universe, just like you can easily create a 1-to-1 correspondence between the set of integers and the set of even numbers. You can't just dismiss that point out of hand.

I don't think anything is infinite because that would form a paradox that it became infinite, or it was always infinite, both of which have problems. If it became infinite then it made a strange transition from finite to infinite. This would require adding infinity, but then you need to have something that is infinite to add to it, so if we already had that infinite thing, why did we need to make the universe infinite? If it was always infinite then how did we get to this point in time or space? Would we need to pass through infinite time or infinite space to get here?

Problem with measuring the curvature of space is: Measuring curvature only works if you have a surface on which to measure it on. Without a surface you will always find the measurement to be 180°. Space simply can't be measured this way unless we find the edge of the universe, if there is one.

In the case of the earth, if we drew a meter long triangle and measured the angles to be exactly 180 degrees and then went with the "supposedly" simplest assumption that the earth is flat...then we would be making the wrong assumption. So your analogy doesn't hold. I don't think the simplest assumption about the shape of the universe is that since the WMAP triangles are 180 degrees then the universe is most likely flat. I think that's the laziest assumption. And that's why I've never understood why astronomers are so confident that the universe is flat based on some extrapolated triangles. The simplest assumption, just like with the earth, is that we aren't drawing our fucking triangles large enough (and at the scales of the universe, we never would be able to draw them large enough given the relatively tiny size of our observable universe).

Infinities, yes... I think we live in a multiverse. I think the number of universes which exist, is large but finite. I think number of potential universes, or spaces where there could be a universe, is infinite. Einstein told us we live on a space-time continuum. He told us that mass can distort that continuum, like a rubber sheet, and that is the cause of gravity. Q1: If mass distorts space-time to produce attractive force, then what effect does it have on time? Relativity tells us very explicitly that time slows down as you approach light speed, and mass increases. Ok, so this is a 3 way relation, like ohms law.... Q2: If a concentration of mass can distort the continuum, then does that continuum have a breaking point? Is there a maximum tensile strength of a space time continuum? If you concentrate an effectively infinite amount of mass into an effectively infinitely small object, smaller than a quark, (a mathematical singularity) then what happens? If you collect the mass of a hundred Milky Way galaxies into something the size of an electron, what happens? I have a hunch, a guess, an idea. What you get is drop-out. The lump vanishes, and there is quite possibly a very dramatic "explosion" as the continuum springs back. What you would "see" because of that, I don't know, but I'd suggest it would blow the eardrums off your gravitational wave detectors... So then you have a very heavy, very small object, which has slipped between dimensions. As soon as it does that, it opens a space between dimensions, like the pages of a book, and it begins to expand. So it goes "bang" and you get a new universe. Another one.

Infinity is really big. So big, in fact, that reality would be super weird if the universe were really infinite. The Pauli Exclusion Principle puts a hard (finite) limit on the number of possible configurations of quantum particles within a volume of space (there are only so many particles and they have to be in different states, so its combinatoric and huge but finite). This would mean that there is another Earth out there, identical to our own, bearing identical 'copies' (none can claim to be 'original') of ourselves. An infinite number of them, in fact. Infinity is simply too big to not run out of possibilities before you have to start re-using them.

We have always heard that the universe is infinite and that it has no boundaries, but there is no proof of the same. Just because we do not yet have the resources to reach for the boundaries of the universe, it *cannot* be considered infinite. Why? Because it is *infinity* which does not have any boundaries. So space must have boundaries, because space exists within the *idea* of infinity. Therefore, the universe is indeed finite. It may still be expanding, yet it is infinitesimally small when compared to infinity.

Could it be possible to make a giant tetrahedron and then measure it's sum of angles and see if its more than the angle sum of a tetrahedron should be (which I'm guessing is 720 since a triangle has an angel sum of 180 and a tetrahedron is basically 4 triangles), since you said the universe is a four dimensional space? Edit: Of course this is hypothetical, so just assume that we can build a tetrahedron big enough

They should say spacetime when their talking about curvature. If the universe came into existence from a singularity you`d thing that it wold spread out in all directions. But was spacetime there already or did it come from the singularity? I think we have flat membrane like spacetime with different fields always fluctuating at almost zero energy and only has a higher energy state when there`s a real particle present. Quantum fluctuations are zero point energy and are called virtual particles which are popping inn and out of existence all the time.

The magnitude of the universe: z÷0=infinity/undefined where; z, is everything&anything 0, is nothing A comparison of such is *limitless* You could say it is *infinite* , but that is dependent on the *language* you use to describe the cosmos.

I was having trouble explaining to my mum how different infinities can be different sizes. What I came up with was to say between 0 and 1 there are infinite numbers. She agreed. So between 0 and 2 there are also infinite numbers, but twice as many. She got it then.

@jvae59 5 жыл бұрын

Ultra Instinct By considering that there are different infinities then you are trying to quantify them so by definition all infinities are the same i.e. Immeasurable.

@colorbars8564 6 жыл бұрын

Assume the universe is finite in space, and let its total size be 1. Let n be any point in the universe such that the universe is 1/n times larger than it. Take the limit as n goes to infinity of 1/n and you will get an infinitely small physical point in the universe. From this infinitely small point's perspective, the universe is infinitely large in size. Size is a relative thing.

One thing is sure! Every infinite answer in this universe, In fact, they aren't different Actually infinity can not be seperated. It is exist beyond the space time. For example... Every Blackholes in this universe, they are actually one Blackhole and also same as The Big bang' singularity. Not only blackholes smallest units of spacetime also same as hole universe because they are also infinite in results

Unless, the big bang and universe are finite, but the universe itself is contained within something else that IS infinite, although I have no idea what that something else would be. But you're right. The big bang, as we understand it to be, isn't compatible with a literal infinite universe.

I do not get how do you conclude, that in an infitie universe there is more stars than particles. You can still pair each particle with each star and if all elements in a set pair up one to one with all elements of another set we say those two sets are equal in size

What about the density of a black hole isn't that infinite in most models? And isn't that the main factor resulting in the singularity and virtual breakdown of most physics?

@PelycheeaceRA 6 жыл бұрын

its the breakdown of the models that results in the singularity (and therefore infinite density), not the other way around. at such high energies our current theories just dont work. we need a theory of quantum gravity to understand whats going on there.

Infinity is a mathematical , a philosophical or a physical term? If the big bang theory is correct then our universe has a starting point, so how come it is infinite? I know that messing with infinite numbers in maths is tricky ( for example there are infinite numbers between 0 and 1) but philosophically speaking if we have an infinite universe then am i right or wrong assuming that there is no end and no beginning of this universe? I think if there is a beginning of universe then there is the end as well.

What about infinite densities in black holes (mass/0 volume)? Also, wouldn't the event horizon of a black hole be a perfect sphere and thus have infinite vertices? These might be a little abstract, but I think they constitute physical infinities.

@PelycheeaceRA 6 жыл бұрын

infinite density in black holes is just a mathematical curiosity. in fact our models just dont work there.

@redstonedreamer6896 6 жыл бұрын

The event horizon is not perfectly static due to quantum effects.

@Nathan-tg4gu 6 жыл бұрын

When you say that it's not static, do you mean that the radius of the event horizon is constantly in flux, or that the distance from the singularity to the event horizon is inconsistent across different local points? If it's the first, I don't see how that challenges my position. If it's the second, wouldn't the black hole still effectively be round and contain infinite vertices, even if it's not spherical?

@PelycheeaceRA 6 жыл бұрын

only in the sense like there are an infinite amount of real numbers for example. a theoretical infinity without physical meaning. plus spacetime is probably quantized. in that case the number of vertices is a pretty well defined, finite quantity.

I watched a video in the past, maybe it was vsauce i forgot, that said that if it really was that big, if we travelled a googol (or googolplex or plexian im not sure) metres away from where we are now, there would be no choice but for arrangements of atoms to repeat themselves. So we would have to find exact replicas of ourselves. Would an infinite universe allow for that since the replicas would still be separate from the "originals" just exactly the same?

@PelycheeaceRA 6 жыл бұрын

in a truly infinite universe, there would be an infinite amount of copies of everything that has a probability of existing thats greater than zero. that is unless the amount of energy is finite despite the universe itself being not.
