Question

"In an infinite universe anything you can conceive of must exist somewhere"
True or false?
If TRUE -- Why?
If FALSE --- why?
Please explain your answer so a 5 year old could understand.

Mr. Zwink how could you know that?

Answer 1

Definitely true! - You see, your limitless imagination exists within the universe so anything you can conceive must also exist within the universe, even if only in your imagination where limiting physical laws don't apply.

Answer 2

false
There are things we can conceive of that are impossibilities.
Secondly, infinite in extent doesn't mean infinite in happenings.
For instance, say the universe were infinite, but all that was, beyond what we can see were empty space. Empty space all the way to forever.

Infinite doesn't mean 'everything that can be'. I can draw a circle that has an infinite number of points, and yet you cannot find anywhere on it a sharp angle, which is both a possible thing and a visualizable thing.

So too could the universe be infinite and yet not contain many, many things that are both possible and imaginable.

Answer 3

If you said could exist I would say TRUE as whatever can be conceived of in the imagination can become true, if not now, then in some future time.This assumes of course that humankind´s technological advances carry ever onwards.

Answer 4

false. just because something can be though up, doesnt mean it has to be created. and if it hasnt been created, it doesnt exist.

i can think of a cartoon, and not draw it. the cartoon will be conceivable, but it wont exist.
