If the universe is infinite, are there planets made out of swiss cheese?
If the universe is infinite, are there planets made out of swiss cheese
In summary, the answer to this question is no. Planets are not made of Swiss cheese, but only Dutch cheese.

No, it's too runny. 
But maybe if there were an infinite number of universes.

If f is defined on all of R, is there an x such that f(x)=0?

Not swiss cheese. Cheese isn't dense enough to withstand the energy emitted by its sun. Maybe in another universe where the laws of physics are different.
What a planet though, all you need is your own bread and ham. Yummmm.

No. Moons are made of cheese. That pretty much proves that the universe is infinite. Planets are made of baloney. As Neils Bohr said, if this doesn't make you hungry, you don't understand it.

Only if somewhere there exists a process for planet formation via cow glands.

There probably is a race of beings so bored they made this a reality.

Wait a second, if there were an infinite number of universes in a multiverse, then doesn't it hold that there are an infinite number of universes made of swiss cheese, in an infinite number of configurations, most of which are currently inconceivable to us?
Oh wait no... If P=0, then even among infinite universes 0 would be made of Swiss Cheese. My bad. But it does hold that if P>0, number of universes made of swiss cheese = infinite.

Perhaps there is an infinite number of planets made out of swiss cheese in a weird multi-verse. Also, then, similar with bread and ham planets.
When these universes collide, we have lunch!
In any event, an extreme multi-verse provides for limitless possibilities(even standard physics laws can change) however, I doubt that some would exist in any stable form.

Do we already know for certain that existence is not relational and would there be instantaneous, non-local influences in an infinite universe?
Otherwise, if the universe is obejctively real, mind-independent and infinite, then there must be planets made out of french cheese.
1. Is it possible for there to be planets made of swiss cheese in an infinite universe?
The answer is no. While the concept of an infinite universe may suggest endless possibilities, the laws of physics still apply. Planets require a solid surface to form and sustain life, and swiss cheese is not a stable or solid substance. Additionally, the extreme temperatures and conditions in space would not allow for the existence of swiss cheese planets.
2. Are there any known planets in our own solar system that resemble swiss cheese?
No, there are no known planets in our solar system that are made of swiss cheese. The planets in our solar system are composed of various elements and materials, but none of them are made entirely of swiss cheese.
3. Could there be planets with pockets of swiss cheese-like structures in an infinite universe?
While it is unlikely, there is a possibility that there could be pockets of swiss cheese-like structures on other planets in an infinite universe. However, these structures would not be composed of actual swiss cheese, but rather geological formations that resemble it.
4. Would life be able to exist on a planet made of swiss cheese?
No, life as we know it would not be able to exist on a planet made of swiss cheese. As mentioned before, swiss cheese is not a stable or solid material, and the extreme conditions in space would not allow for the formation and sustenance of life.
5. How do scientists study and explore the vastness of an infinite universe?
Scientists use various methods and technologies, such as telescopes and space probes, to study and explore the universe. They also use mathematical models and theories to understand the nature of the universe and its components. However, there is still much to learn and discover about the vastness of an infinite universe.
