When your theory has some kind of infinity in it, it's wrong.
Deal with it. Infinite doesn't exist in physics.
>>
>Infinite doesn't exist in physics.
how do you know?
>>
whatabout asymptotes? (asking for a german friend)
>>
>>16807818
What if my theory isn't about physics?
>>
>>16807831
The universe has a beginning, so it can't be infinite. Yes this follows logically
>>
>>16807879
>The universe has a beginning
How do you know?
>it can't be infinite
of course it can, I can think of plenty of infinite things in a universe with a beginning
>>
>>16807818
cool it with the anti semitism chud

>>16807831
because its anti semitic to not have god in your equations
>>
Calculus was invented for physics.. MORON

>>16807818
Your mom fucked infinity niggers last night.

>Philosophers trying to do the bare minimum amount of work while still trying to remain relevant
"Wrong by how much?" Is what anyone actually cares about. Get a job, you useless eater.
>>
>>16807818
So I can disregard this thread since its theorizing something based on dealing with infinity?

Also what is the largest possible physical magnitude since physical magnitude can't be boundless?

>>16807879
So how many divisions can you make between now and the beginning if there can only be a finite number of divisions?
>>
>>16807903
The only thing approaching infinity in your Universe is the number of cocks jammed up your ass.
>>
>>16808453
>I have been btfod
we know
>>
>>16808450
why the plank inverse, or knalp if you will, of course
>>
>>16807818
>Infinite doesn't exist in physics.
Achilles wins the tortoise all the time, everywhere
>>
>>16808464
But planck length is approximately 1.616×10^-35 and its inverse is about 6.25x10^34.
(6.25x10^34)*2 = 1.25x10^35 and (1.616255×10^-35)/2 = 8.08127512x10^-35, so that isn't true that it represents any hard maximum.
What exactly do you think happens when universal expansion reaches 6.25x10^34, the universe just pops like a bubble that grew too big?

What happens to all the time leftover when you divide the last division that is possible in your scenario since division can definitely keep happening, the universe just rounds down?
>>
>>16808482
who the hell told you the inversion point was 1?, it clearly isn't
>>
>>16807818
>Infinite doesn't exist in physics.
what is string theory
>>
>>16807879
it has infinite growth
not infinite past
>>
>>16807879
The universe does not have a known beginning. Perhaps you're thinking of the start of expansion as the beginning? This is wrong. The universe still existed before the big bang.
>>
>>16809398
>The universe still existed before the big bang.
No, something existed, but it wasn't this universe since this universe is made up of space, time, and mass, none of which can be said to have existed until a few moments after the explosive expansion. Its like saying if you subtract 1 from 1, you still have a unity, sure maybe it depends of definitions and context, but 0 is a completely different type of unity with completely different rules than 1, so the statement doesn't confer much information other than to create confusion as to the difference between 1 and 0.
>>
Just replace infinity with a limit as X goes to infinity (not really but closer to it) and we've fixed mathematics
>>
>>16809415
both 0 and 1 are numbers though
and both this universe and what was before are "something"
therefore "something" has always existed and is therefore infinite

and even if you disagree then even with your limited worldview you still have to agree that time forward is infinite

and even if you disagree that time forward is infinite and you treat heat death as time stopping then you still must agree that heat death is infinite

so either heat death is infinite or there is a big crunch and there is an infinite expanding and collapsing universe or the big bang is just a part of a huge infinite universe where big bangs constantly occur

either way infinity exists in cosmology
>>
>>16809474
Quantum gravitation solves this. No infinites in your equations needed.
>>
>>16809251
Brainlet detected
>>
>>16809474
Heat death implies the laws of thermodynamics apply. Since this law is absolute, then the expansion of the universe isn't infinite.
>>
>>16809250
String theory is not complete yet. Also quantum gravitation.
>>
>>16809251
If you could look on the universe from the outside, you will see that it's not infinite. It's just our point of view.
