A Stance on the Infinity of the Universe

By Lawless Fighter

Suppose, for a moment, the universe is finite. Everything and anything comes to an end and only nothing is allowed beyond. Don't tell the activists this or htey will call it discrimination and walk their lives of something wearing shirts and holding signs that say: "We are nothing too!"
But I digress, if the universe is finite, we must have universes of nothing that lie far beyond. So, effectively, we are a multiverse. Thus there is no end either way. And since, hypothetically of course, the multiverse continues, whether it is something or a whole bunch of nothing, we can truthfully say we are in 0% of this multiverse as we have no number to compare ourselves to. This leads us to the conclusion that we are nothing. But this however, would allow us passage through the empty void where only nothing is allowed anyway. . .

    Ive always wondered, what contains the universe...how can it be finite? Our logic simply cannot account for the universe. We cannot even grasp the concept of infinity/eternity ( our minds are conditioned to only understand a beginning and an end) This was a wonderful proof. :)
