SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the flawed mathematical interpretation of infinity and its implications for the existence of life in the universe. Participants highlight that dividing infinity by any finite number does not yield a finite result, contradicting the claim that there is no life on any planet. The conversation also emphasizes that the universe is not universally accepted as infinite, and the terms 'infinite' and 'finite' require a specific frame of reference for meaningful discussion. Overall, the mathematical errors presented in the theory are deemed nonsensical and warrant further examination of the concept of infinity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mathematical concepts related to infinity
  • Familiarity with basic cosmology and the structure of the universe
  • Knowledge of logical reasoning and argumentation
  • Awareness of scientific terminology and definitions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical properties of infinity in set theory
  • Explore cosmological models regarding the universe's structure and size
  • Study logical fallacies and their impact on scientific discourse
  • Investigate philosophical implications of infinite versus finite concepts
USEFUL FOR

Philosophers, mathematicians, cosmologists, and anyone interested in the logical foundations of theories regarding life in the universe.

The universe is infinite so that means that there are an infinite number of planets. Some of these planets are known to have no life on them so there must be a finite number of planets with no life. Divide infinite by finite and you get a number as close to zero as can possible be. So there's no life on any planet.

1) The word is 'theory,' not theroy.

2) Infinity - any finite number = infinity. Infinity / any finite number = infinity.

3) The universe is generally not regarded as infinite.

infinite and finite are meaningless unless you have a frame of referance ,who is going to be brave enought to formulate that referance?

Prove it. And infinite spacetime != infinite matter.

Nonsensical.

Incorrect mathematics.

So there's no life on any planet.
Is this a joke thread?
 
It took a thicko like me a whole week to work that out!111
 
I think Viper was just having some fun (right, V?)...no need to jump down his throat. That math error has been pointed out and I think that's sufficient for this topic. Infinity can be discussed elsewhere.
