Can we prove the universe is infinite?
The short answer is we don’t know. We know the observable universe — the part we can visibly see and measure — began around 13.8 billion years ago with the Big Bang. So we know the age of the universe is finite at least from the time of the Big Bang.
Can sequences be infinite?
In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters. Like a set, it contains members (also called elements, or terms). Sequences can be finite, as in these examples, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers (2, 4, 6.).
Can the universe come out of nothing?
The answer is, again, no. According to quantum mechanics, it will still experience vacuum fluctuations, with virtual particles briefly coming in and out of existence.
Is the universe big or infinite?
The observable universe is still huge, but it has limits. That’s because we know the universe isn’t infinitely old — we know the Big Bang occurred some 13.8 billion years ago. That means that light has had “only” 13.8 billion years to travel.
Is the universe finite or infinite?
Two possiblities exist: either the Universe is finite and has a size, or it’s infinite and goes on forever. Both possibilities have mind-bending implications.
What would an infinite universe mean?
Well one thing an infinite universe would mean is that there could be no way that mankind, or any extraterrestrial civilization for that matter, could ever explore and eventually colonize the universe.
Does the universe go on forever?
Yes, the universe goes on forever. They say it’s expanding because new galaxies are being created, but they are being created in the empty spaces. That’s why some places are younger than others.
Is space really infinite?
Space- Space is simply space existing prior to and during and after it is occupied by baryonic matter. Space is infinite when without boundaries. Boundaries and coordinates help define space in proximity. The space that existed prior to baryonic matter occupying it, exists today and exists infinitely.
