my theory is that this physical universe cannot contain ANYTHING of infinite value and that it currently has nothing of infinite value in it.

infinite heat would mean infinite expansion at infinite speeds. infinite speeds means infinite mass. infinite mass means infinite gravity. infinite gravity means infinite compaction. all of this must happen at infinite speeds, hence, it could not be explained by simply saying that "it would expand, then contract because of the gravity" because if you think about it, nothing can happen at infinite speed.

please think hard about this and try to shoot my theory down.

you can only be proven wrong by measuring something infinite...

while it may be right, it doesnt help anyone or predict anything else, so it's quite useless!

a/c to ur theory, the universe would have to be of infinite size.
lets assume it is!
then, that would mean, that the speed at which the universe is expanding( and it is!) would also be infinite. then the gravity pulling it back would be infinite. this would result in the universe "crunching up".
this would mean that the universe would have to move towards its centre. but since the universe is of infinite size, therefore, it has no centre!!! every point is then a center!
so thus, the universe isnt of infinite size, and therefore, it negated all your assumptions!
i hope this helped, and if what im saying is wrong, anyone can email me and tell me where. i would like to know if im right or wrong!
thanks!

First of all, that's not a theory; it's a conjecture.

Infinite heat does not imply infinite speed; infinite speeds definitely do not imply infinite mass, and "relativistic mass" has little to do with gravity. If you're referring to the expansion of the universe, it's not expanding because it is hot anyway.

It's impossible to prove a negative, especially infinite negatives, as in "nothing infinite can exist."

General Relativity is fine with the universe being infinitely large, if that's the way it is.

Wasn't it Einstein who said 'Only two things are infinite: the universe, and Man's stupidity. Sometimes I have my doubts about the universe.' ?

Sorry, this is not a theory it is merely a statement of fact. Infinities exist only in mathematics.
