I move things in mysterious ways. You mortal will never figure it out MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA |

Once again, it depends on your perspective. Maybe it is infinitely expanding in the dimensions we inhabit/experience/detect but may be excluded from other dimensions. |

As I understand it, our universe in fact is finite but boundless. I could be wrong. |

stars and celestial bodies are getting further away from one another. But there is no wall that you'd ram the edge of a space shuttle into if you got far enough. |

The space between galaxies, stars, etc is expanding. So the universe can easily be infinite and expanding. |

Space isn't expanding, the matter in space is. |

Some infinites are bigger than others. For example, there are an infinite number of irrational numbers between zero and one. There are more between zero and one hundred. |

For example, perhaps it is expanding like a bubble around itself. One can travel around a sphere infinitely and never reach a plateau. |

Actually, those two examples are the same size. |

I'm pretty sure there are the same number of irrational numbers in the open intervals (0,1) and in (0,100). Things can get pretty confusing once you get into infinities. However, there are more irrationals in (0,1) than there are rationals in (0,1), despite the fact that the number of both are infinite. These are examples of uncountable and countable infinities, which are the most basic infinities in mathematics, but you can go far above uncountable if you want. |

The whole concept of our reality and what it comprises of, is way beyond the interpretaions and knowledge of our so called scientists. However it is not their fault, they can only comprehend the total picture based on what their minds perceive. The whole EXISTENCE of all that is carries many realities and universal dimensions. This is how the ET's of our world exist. They have always been here, they are not from the distant space, but different dimensions in space. Most of this is way beyond what the normal person can perceive. We all live different lives in different dimensional universes. |

lol, discussing pointless sh*t like this is exactly why you aren't getting laid. |

There are different sized infinities but this isn't an example. The set of irrationals in (0,1) is the same size as the set of irrationals in (0,100). Both those sets are larger than the set of all integers. So you can't even "count" the irrationals in (0,1) or (0,100)--you run out of integers. The way we know the sets are the same size is by matching each element of one set with an element of the other set. The technical term for this is a bijective function (or simply a bijection). In this particular case a bijection is f(x) = 100*x with inverse f^-1(x) = x/100. Thus the sets are the same size.

I have yet to see a science show that says the universe is infinite. |

Infinity. Infinity +1. That is all. |
