The real Universe may be infinite?

Yes we think so Julie. It is infinite in that it has no beginning and no end, it is infinite in any "direction" that we may look, has always been there and always will be. That is a concept that us human beings have considerable trouble in grasping, because we live in a finite world, not an in-finite one.


I once considered the finite world to be only matter and that the 'spiritual' world went beyond that, rather sceptic now at times...

Agreed Chris, I can't think of this mans name but he said something like "we know nothing about universe by a lot" but we keep searching.
Cheers everybody

When i said the "real" universe i was referring to the universe that encompasses everything, including all the possible multi-verses. I think. LOL

It would be interesting to know how many their are if any, we think their is but to prove it? hard to do. If their is the total universe could be googles of years old (10 to the 100) or older.

We run into definition issues again when we speak of multi-verses. Are we talking about the multiple big bang multi-verses or are we talking about the multi-verses (parallel universes) that are created, or branch off our current universe, when any decision is made? Oh man, we need more words!

We discussed this too often already but it stays interesting:)


Is the universe a bubble? Let's check


Perimeter Associate Faculty member Matthew Johnson and his colleagues are working to bring the multiverse hypothesis, which to some sounds like a fanciful tale, firmly into the realm of testable science.
