If the universe turns out to be spatially infinite, does that mean it contains infinite energy because of the CMBR?
The discussion centers on the implications of an infinite universe on energy content, specifically regarding the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). It concludes that while the universe may be spatially infinite, the observable universe contains only a finite amount of energy. This limitation arises from the fact that we can only measure a finite portion of the universe, making its total energy content effectively finite from our perspective.
