Very good, Mr. Nobody. I always enjoy your well thought posts. I would just further define infinity as the un-beyond, to make matters easier. As to the purpose of existence, I would have to accept Victor Franlel's ideas. The meaning or purpose to life, is to have meaning. You seem to express much meaning, I can see no more noble a position in life than self-honesty of true meaning, even if we know its eternally radiating away. To know the meaning to things is a form of bliss...
regards,

We live in 3 spacial dimensions and the universe exists in 4 spacial dimensions. The age of the universe is infinity as anything else would assign a purpose with beginning and end. A purpose to existence I don't see. The age of this expanding epoch of the universe can be measured and is estimated as approx. 13.7 billion years. |
