Does the infiniteness of our universe prevent the reality of other universes from existing ourside our own?

Question

Some scientists speculate that our universe is infinite.

That is, they can find no beginning or end to it.

If this were true, heaven could not exist because nothing can exist outside the limits of all that there is.

Either infinity is everything, or it is not.

Answer 1

Infinity is not a thing. It just means "without limit". You can move across the surface of the earth without limit (if you have a car that works as a boat as well). You can keep going on for ever. But you will never leave the earth.

Similiarly with the universe. Just because you can go for ever, it doesn't meant that there are no other places. There might be places that you can go in a "different direction" such as the 7th dimension or the 9th.

Answer 2

The universe is a finite entity.
This would prevent other universes from existing outside our own.
If it were infinite there would be no beginning and no end.and anything would be possible.
The universe is an incident that happens once and will never happen again.
This fact bothers many scientists so they have to resort to faith to evoke an infinite universe.
Yes it is either every thing or it is nothing.

Answer 3

I can live with that. But if, as a lot of people (myself included) believe, 'reality' is indeed infinite dimensional, then there may well be 'parallel' universes to our own which exist along dimensions that cannot be detected from within ours. This is, in fact, the basis for the 'non-Copenhagen' interpretation of quantum mechanics (as originated by Everett and nicely explained by Dave Deutsch in his book, 'the Fabric of Reality').

Answer 4

universe is not infinite...it is round like the earth...but in some other dimention than the three spatial dimentions we r aware of....this makes it look like infinite....and theory allows universes beyond ours...connections to such universes from ours r also possible....some 'holes' in space time fabric can potentially throw u into one such universe


ther is also a wierd theory(this i think is the non-copenhagen theory one of the guys above is referring to) which says that the moment a human being in the earth decides to,say take a pencil in a bunch of many coloured pencils,universe splits up,and in each of them he himself gets cloned into those many universes and in each universe,he picks up a different colour pencil.....there are lots of i's and u's...every time we have a choice,we create universes,take different paths ,live differently...when u dump ure girlfriend,there springs up another universe where u dont....but dun worry these worlds can never meet....bizzare..huh??....

Answer 5

heaven is just the imagination of people who think good people go to heaven when they are dead. but there is no proof. i am not blaming it but yes infinity is everything.
