Re: Is the universe infinite?

Thank you everyone for your replies, I learned a few things and as you pointed out if there is no way to observe, measure or quantify something then there can only be speculation and science does not operate on speculation. I should have deduced as much myself.

It also seems paradoxical that the universe could be infinite and yet have a definable shape, unless the point I am missing is that it is only infinite in certain directions.

Anyway thanks again, I only recently began to ponder what might be beyond the universe and the finite/infinite nature of the universe and sought the knowledge and advice of those that would know and it appears I came to the right place.

And finally I am not a very educated person and want to thank everyone for explaining things in a nontechnical way without sounding condescending. Your answers were intelligent but easily understood by a layperson such as myself. All who replied have proven not only there intelligence but also there humanity.

Live each day as the first and last, for they truly are.
Todd

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
