Infinite is so big (or small I guess) that no matter how much you take from it it will remain infinite..
Infinite can not be derived by doubling something over and over such that it reaches a point where it is infinite..
I wonder when some say the Universe started as a "seed" and doubled (via inflation if you like) and doubled and double and again and so on such that it becomes infinite..that can not happen as the size will still be quantifiable... and being quantifiable therefore finite
.
I wonder also if we then admit we have a finite Universe (about 160 billion light years across is a convenient unconfirmed figure I have run across) does it float in a sea of nothing
... for there can be no such thing as nothing if you really think about it
.. does this mean although our universe is finite in one sence that in another (as there is nothing outside it) that it is infinite
...
Now my head hurts but the question now with me is ...how can a finite Universe float in a sea of nothing???
