Scumbag Universe

the expansion is what makes it infinite...

Acctually, the most talked off theory is that the universe is expanding in the light of speed, therefore it will be infinite to us until we are able to travell faster than 299,792,458 m/s.

Isn't the expansion what makes it infinite?

Well.. infinite as to how we cannot fathom the scale of it.

Otherwise it is quite a finite space expanding to a point, thus lowering the amount of matter/unit of volume ratio. It is like a balloon that was given air to later deflate and return to nothingness.

The ever expanding part is what makes it infinite.

Doesn't it need to keep expanding to be infinite?

What makes it infinite is canter's diagonal, its a theory that suggests that as soon as an infinite set it complete there is another number right after the last. For example, in an infinite set of 1's and 0's as soon as the set is finished, another 1 or 0 comes in to complete it, making it a complete set again, meaning another number (be it a 1 or 0) has to be added to the set, and so its ever expanding. the universe follows an infinite pattern like this, and so the reason it has to keep expanding is to keep itself at an infinite set.

Haven't seen a decent scumbag meme in a while. Nice one

If the universe was infinite, then brings up a problem, there must be infinite time to form an infinite amount of things.
Suppose, the universe is infinite, and the time making it, is infinite, which is obviously wrong, then brings up another problem.
If there is an infinite amount of space, that must mean there is a massive ample of time for equilibrium to occur throughout the universe, and by equilibrium, I mean in terms of temperature.
If the universe truly had existed for an infinite amount of time, the entirety of it would be only one temperature, and thats obviously not true, the temperature of one region of space, can be massively different from another region of space, a few light years away.

The universe is infinite in the sense that matter is spreading out, but so very finite in the sense of how much matter there is.

It will keep expanding....until it doesn't.

I thought it was infinite BECAUSE it is expanding... ?

Imagine this
the big bang that created our universe
Let's imagine there was nothing before the big bang
so how could it have happened
What if like
a huuuuuuuge "big bang" happened on the other side of some parallel universal wall, and the blast broke through to our side and created our universe

I'm not saying this is true/false
but interesting thought
inb4 78 people prove me wrong

If the universe is infinite then everything in the universe is in the center of it.
Because everything is equally far apart from the edges of the universe.
Since it's infinite.

But space is cool.

Woo! Space!

Not infinite.....

If it stopped expanding, it wouldn't be infinite. Duuuh.
