If the universe is by definition everything, then how can it not be infinite? If it ends then there most be something beyond it? But then it isnt everything? See I am stupid.
âIf you canât explain it simply, you donât understand it well enough.â
âLook deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.â
âLogic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.â
âItâs not that Iâm so smart, itâs just that I stay with problems longer.â
âI have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.â
âOnce we accept our limits, we go beyond them.â
âYou ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. Iâve only ever had one.â
âCoincidence is Godâs way of remaining anonymous.â
âReality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.â
âIt should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.â
âTry not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.â
âOccurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.â
âIt is only to the individual that a soul is given.â âAlbert Einstein
So the only difference between the universe before and after the Big Bang is that before, space was outside the âball of matterâ and after the space was âamongâ itâŠbut we always think of the ball of matter as the important part, the motive force. Maybe we should think of the Big Bang as the relocation of space, not of matterâŠwithout that âspaceâ, the universe canât be infinite, since when the ball was contracted, prior to the bang, what else was all around it? Or maybe it just doesnât matter? I hereby declare this line of thought null and void.

Not enough space in the universe to accommodate human stupidity!

Stupidity is the dark matter everyone has been searching for. It fills the media, especially visible on most digital sites.

Our minds are too limited to comprehend the universe ⊠being stupid is not using the brains we are given ⊠some cannot accept the former.

Maybe the universe is a 3 dimensional Mobius strip. That would make it both endless and finite.

A debate about the universe could get edgy.

The strip is funny. I got a big bang out of it.

How about the multiverse (if it exists)? Are all the universes in it infinite?

The universe is larger than our minds can comprehend, so letâs just leave it at that. Otherwise, it will just give you a headache.
