Another question, do you think the universe is finite or infinite? And I'm not just talking about black space because that's absolute nothingness, I'm talking about the matter of our universe, was there a set amount of matter ejected in the Big Bang or is there an infinite number of planets? I support the idea that we have finite matter btw, just want your opinion

  • Infinite. The density of energy is too isotropic for it to be finite. The Big Bang did not eject anything. All it symbolizes is the point in time with which time is not observable prior to. Following this, space time expands infinitely dense energy. Quantum fluctuations cause it to clump, which eventually causes it to become matter. If there is infinite energy, there can be infinite matter.

    The fabric of space is infinite but the matter in that fabric is finite that's why you can tell the universe is expanding because the matter doesn't expand with the fabric of space

  • This is false. Energy is infinite. Matter is energy.
