| | Hi to All,

|
| No.
|
| | Explanation:
| | in the earth the max distance between 2 points (e.g. north pole and
| | south pole) is one half the ring, i.e. 3.14*r (r=earth ray). In the
| | universe speed material cannot exceed the light one, so the universe
| | cannot have an extension higher than it's age, always travelling to
| | it's maximum speed... the light one...
| | What do you think about that?
|
| It's a load of ridiculous baloney, the Universe is infinite in extent.
|
| Consider that infinite is just a mathematical concept ... from a
| physical point of view what does it mean infinite?

Consider that infinite means what it means, goes on forever.
From a physical point of view that's what it means.
That you cannot grasp the idea and are rabbiting about light
and time (l = electromagnetic radiation, t = time) only shows
your mind is finite.

Look, if we have a finite universe around us then we can have
another one just like it twice as far away, and since "universe"
means all, everything, then that second one is part of the universe.

Your way of thinking is "what happens to a ship when it falls off
the edge of the world?" because you assume there is an edge.




| AFAUK, infinite is higher than 10 billion light year ...


might be I
| could agree...

Doesn't really matter, there are some things that are unknowable
and even if we did know them they don't affect us in any way.
Anyone can have an unprovable theory but what's the point?
