    Undergrad How Can We Comprehend the Concept of a Finite Universe?

    It is getting ridiculous. I never intended to debate it in the first place. This is my serious face... How so? Finite- Having bounds; limited + Universe- All matter and energy, including Earth, the galaxies and all therein, and the contents of intergalactic space, regarded as a...

    You can't prove a finite universe by principle. You can't disprove an infinite one by principle.

    I guess logic and thought experiments don't count?

    Undergrad How Can We Comprehend the Concept of a Finite Universe?

    My theory isn't falsifiable so far because I could pose the question of what lays beyond. Its based on principle. A rule in science and philosophy stating that entities should not be multiplied needlessly. This rule is interpreted to mean that the simplest of two or more competing...

    He doesn't place the big dots, theyre "convienently" placed. Pac man is still 3D, you can't see 1D without the other two. If nothing else he kept getting space sick at the same point.

    Undergrad How Can We Comprehend the Concept of a Finite Universe?

    At this point my theory does loose scientific value due to the fact we can not currently detect this infinite space. However, many current finite theories have even less scientific value and are widely accepted as known truth despite the inability to properly test them thus making them even more...

    He conveniently has a living space in which every straight line of dots going horizontaly have 1000. Conveniently each big dot is one small dot down and to the right of the first big dot. Conveniently the horizontal dots are equal to the vertical so both dimensions are 1000. Using the big dots...

    I agree, only time will tell for sure. Hopefully though it will be rather soon so I can start my victory dance.

    Undergrad How Can We Comprehend the Concept of a Finite Universe?

    Finite universes is taught as almost proven fact by many teachers and professers. The idea of a finite universe is very comforting vs an infinite one because we can fully understand (over time) a finite universe. A infinite universe can have a large number of possible contradicting laws and is...

    Theories for finite univeres I've researched have a shape whether its a hypersphere or a dodecahedron and a way for it to seem boundless whether its mirrors or traveling so far you return to where you started. A good example I feel is a pac man game (no offense). It has a shape and is boundless...

    Sounds like fun, wana make it burn? Send it into the sun, just for the fun of it.

    Sailors never were astronauts though, "the world" is still finite and still has its boundries which have been crossed.

    Undergrad How Can We Comprehend the Concept of a Finite Universe?

    Anything that is finite has boundries. It would seem logicaly that this conflicts with the universe being all there is, as that definition should include what's inside, outside, and the boundries themselves. Even with the curvature of space creating a finite boundary for humans or any other form...

    There either has to be something or nothing out side the observable universe, if there's nothing, it stretches on infinitly having the potential to be filled by something. Also nothing must have the potential to produce something, or we will never find a complete answer to the beginning of the...

    Please define higher dimension. I know the proper definition of dimension is: A measure of spatial extent, expecially width, heigth, or length. Its not feasible for their to be any further dimensions, unless you count time, which isn't spatial but has a relationship to distance none the less. As...
