My idea, however, does require strings, quarks, and those pesky extra dimensions. |
Thanks, looking forward to your post. Quote:
So do you have any proof that the universe is infinite? I have a philosophical difficult time imagining any real thing as infinite. No problems with conceptual things like numbers, points, curves, etc.

Infinity is an attribute of nature which absolutely defies logical interpretation. It's not exempt from the laws of nature and it's not contrary to reason, but it lies beyond the domain of logic because it's not defined - and logic requires definition.
There is a finite distance between every two points in the Universe. Some mistakenly believe that if this is so then the
furthest point in the cosmos must be a finite distance away. What they don't understand is that just the act of defining two points sways the realm of their consideration from the infinite back to the finite. When dealing with infinity, there is no
'furthest' and the fact that no defined point of infinity exists serves only to further validate the concept.
