    Is the universe finite or infinite?

    Please let's try to keep any actual science out of this thread and restrict it to wild speculation instead.

    The definition in use here is "All matter and energy, including the earth, the galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space, regarded as a whole."

    If you define the universe as "everything in it", then yes it is finite.

      We cannot comprehend infinity, thus wouldn't recognize it even if we were exposed to it.

          Dunno, I don't think the universe is that big. Typical media hype, nothing more.

            Big relative to what?

                      Hmm, finite without bound, but I'm not sure I can explain why without using physics. Hmm.

                            I assumed this was a thread meant to troll me.

                              The world does not revolve around you. Also, learn to read timestamps.
