Is the Universe Infinite?

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson at the University of Texas - Arlington on February 17, 2009 answers questions from the audience after his talk. This question is about whether the Universe is infinite or finite. My favorit part is that this has nothing to do with belief!

Either way the Universe is weird. If it is finite that means there is "nothing" outside it and nothingness is a mind fuck. Or perhaps if it is finite there are multiple universes like bubbles in a bubble bath. If it is infinite obviously infinity is impossible to grasp. lol

Isn't funny how your god made it so its impossible to find unless I take your word for it and read your special book! Leaving me wide open to be deceived by another man with a different book :( in your book wasn't god speaking to people daily?? Why so shy now?

Golden rule when studying existence: Always assume you don't know shit.

@whiteliketar God must be very schizophrenic because he apparently chose to reveal himself in many scriptures in many religions under many names and sometimes at the same time. They can't all be right since they all damn one another. How are we supposed to even use that as evidence???

@zestydude87 Well in a way yes, the universe itself may have expanded at a rate faster than the speed of light but it is not exactly a thing to be constrained by that limit. You see space-time is what is expanding. The matter and energy in it obeys the laws of physics and don't travel faster than the speed of light. Nothing to rewrite.

There is no question as well as answer of a god. The Reality is Infinity even if there is a vision it is a temporary in the absence of vision also Infinity is there. Those formulas made by human are also temporary because Physics, Chemistry and Biology changes Universally. It is Infinite Conversion human life is a micro part of this Conversion this is Infinite Reaction no one is creator nor destroyer nor controller. Finally this is Infinite Universal Reaction

@Psity -I am not so sure - your version seems quite unique in this world - the word esoteric comes to mind. lol

@whiteliketar I just copied from you men, I think it comes naturally.

[whiteliketar]

@Psity - were you trying to say something stupid or did it come naturally?

@whiteliketar , this is what i hear "you just don´t write God into anything, God chose goat herders from the bronze age; faith goes where logic can go no further, like delusion - It is funny if you know psychology and you hear someone refering to god has the great I AM- God confuses you because you want any valid indication of his existance, but he chose to manifest in a primitive book, and some sandwich that was sold in las vegas, so that´s what you get..
