A question about expansion of the universe

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the implications of an infinite universe expansion and whether it leads to infinite possibilities occurring repeatedly. It suggests that current mathematical models may not solely apply to our known universe but could also encompass multiverses or unknown dimensions. The concept of infinity is examined, particularly in how it might relate to the structure of the universe, potentially folding back on itself. Additionally, the validity of the Big Bang theory is questioned, with references to its potential flaws. The conversation highlights the complexity of understanding the universe's expansion and its broader implications.

If the expansion of the universe is "never ending", will every possibility take place infinite times? (So if the theory is correct I would be posting this subject infinite times?)

Edit, seems I didn't properly read you statement. An infinite expansion has nothing to do with infinite possible outcomes.

There's no way to be sure that the math is describing 'only' our known universe. It could be describing the multiverse, parallel universes, or even both, or something as yet unknown. However, an infinity of infinities makes some weird sense if the mutiverse folds back upon itself on the smallest scale (like a parabola) remaking the universe(s). Conditional, where size (space) is not relevant throughout the system.

However, the big bang has a few knocks. Possibly as many as four (we will see). You may need to consult M. C. Escher (impossible figures).
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
