I believe in infinity. I believe the universe is infinite in size and possibilities...
I was watching a tv program about this and I fundamentally disagreed with their conclusions.
I believe infinity must mean that there can be no repetition and infinite does not mean "impossible". The tv program suggested that everything must be possible and so therefore everything must happen. I just cannot believe it.
I can, for example, create a set of infinite numbers between 0 and 1. I know for a fact that none of these numbers ever repeat and none of these numbers are less than 0 and more than 1. But there can be no doubt that this is an infinite range of numbers. How then, can these people/scientists suggest that in an infinite universe we should repeat? How can there be some clone worlds that are almost exactly the same as our own known universe at a calculable distance away from us.
This is a fact that I just don't agree exists. Infinity does not imply such repetition, infact I believe it implies the opposite.
I guess this is philosophy more than science as it cannot be mathematically proved. If it can then I would love to see it. Maybe it is my limited mind that won't let me accept this. Anyone out there willing to tell me why infinite size means there are an infinite number of mes', writing this message? This is head hurting.
