Quote:that's why i am confused on if the Multiverse theory would actually put the Infinite Space Theory(Not sure what it's called) in jeopardy.There are different types of multiverse hypotheses, but if you are referring to the most commonly talked about one where in inflation, patches of space get randomly blown up and then drop out of inflation due to quantum fluctuations - in that one, those separate patches making up the parallel universes would be finite iirc.
Whether the whole is finite or not is probably undetermined as well.
Alex, do you think there is any conceivable way of ever gathering any evidence of what is beyond our own big band event? It boggles my mind to imagine how anyone could ever reasonably infer what is beyond our observable universe based on what we can observe within it.
