Re: Theory of Infinity (defined)

Hi again Clay and Tomrod,

I'm sorry I reposted the theory, but when I wrote my original post I wasn' t thinking all that clearly. I think this version is a little easier to read and more simply defined.

Clay, I was as confused about infinite spacetime within a defined space, as you are, when I first heard it. But it can be explained thus:

If you were out lost in infinite spacetime; where are you? what time is it? how large are you?
Any direction you move you are still infinite spacetime.

IF you had an empty container filled with infinite spacetime how much is in there?
What would you be comparing it to?
Your five gallon tub definition only works within a finite space.
Everything is infinite. Within the tub, out of the tub, it doesn't matter.

The edge of a black hole is the edge of this finite space. Beyond that maths as a clearly defineable measurement ceases to exist.
