Is the universe infinite?
#6
RE: Is the universe infinite?
The amount of increasing 'disorder' in the sun (and to a far lesser degree in the radioactive elements decaying in the body of the earth) massively and overwhelmingly exceeds the amount of 'order' life forms on earth have managed to scrape together.

Having noted that, however, does not preclude humans with an extremely advanced gamma ray 'laser' device of great power (as described by Carl Sagan back in the 60s) from blowing up the sun, should they wish to demonstrate the device. But realize, in order to do so, the power source for the gamma ray device would undergo a massive increase in disorder during the test.

You can't beat the second law of thermodynamics.
