Infinite Universe?

RE: Infinite Universe?
(May 2, 2022 at 9:34 pm)JairCrawford Wrote: I’m continuing to go down this cosmology rabbit hole. Most recently I’ve been reading, watching, and thinking a lot about the implications of an infinite universe.

If the nature of the geometry of the universe itself is infinite, and the cosmic background radiation is largely uniform everywhere throughout said infinite plain… then are we dealing with the possibility of infinite galaxies? Infinite stars? Infinite… everything?

Is this the only conclusion we can reach if the universe is truly a “flat” expanse? According to what I’ve read, most scientists are leaning very heavily in the “no evidence for curvature” direction when it comes to the geometry of the universe. I’m trying to comprehend the implications of that.

Space is big.

Really big.
