Thank you! That does help that view of infinity. But what if you say each square TRIED to doubled its size, but could not, as every square met another to infinity. There was ni way anything could expand, because it all went to infinity all ready. Same problem, the opposite way. It seems either...

Then define singularity. You cant. Its a word meaning we don't know. The Earth is round. So you have a start point and an end point. Then you just start over again. If the universe is looped, why don't we see things coming back at us from the past, just like we would see someone walking...

There has to be something if its expanding. It can't expand into something that's not there.

Which is just imagined. Not real.

Define infinite.

That rubber band would have to be stretching into something, so the universe could not be infinite in that model.

This is why an infinite may not be possible. Only in theory. My infinite would be truly infinite. If you had an infininte space with infinite anything in it, it would be completely filled with that one thing. But I see how you could play the game both ways and make sense, which is why I don't...

You seem to be contradicting yourself. You said do not think of it as a point, which is how I think of it. Then you told me the distance beteeen points was zero, which makes everything a point! Then if the big bang happened everywhere, there was a lot of something there pre big bang!

would that mean the Big Bang never happened? If not, please explain to the best of your ability as to why. Much appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to post that here! That makes perfect sense to me, and seems totally logical. I was told before it was incorrect (rocket seeing Earth's time faster on inbound trip) and left me stumped. Now it leaves me thinking about when someone (on say a merry go round moving...

But the objects are approaching each other at almost twice the speed of light from the middle persons frame of reference. So you CAN move two objects in certain ways faster than the speed of light, depending on your frame of reference. Away from each other or towards each other. (While neither...

I think we are in agreement. Maybe my wording was not clear. Everything is moving in slow motion for the rocket guy as viewed from earth. Both Earth people and rocket man experience time as moving "normally" in their frame of reference... I thought the guy in the rocket would see...

If you were on Earth looking up at the two objects, you would see them approaching each other at far above the speed of light. Just below 2c I believe. The people on board due to time dilation, length contration and other distorting factors would measure things totally differently than you...

Not if it was my family. :smile: KIDDING of course! I LOVE my family and they mean evreything to me. It was just there for the taking and I could not resist. :smile: (Thanks for the reply too)
