Anon asks:
Could
an actual infinity exist in other logically possible worlds, or different
dimensions? Or if we say an actual infinity cannot exist, does that mean
anywhere, including different dimensions, and worlds?
With a trillion observable galaxies, each
with about 100 billion stars, there are certainly a lot of “worlds.” They are
not just “possible” or “logical,” but real—great evidence that the universe is
infinite. Dimensions? We don’t need no stinking 4 dimensions. The universe is 3-dimensional: x, y, and z. Period. At PSI, we
assume that an “actual infinity” exists, both microcosmically and
macrocosmically. Indeterminists who assume finity, its opposite, invariably
must believe in perfectly empty space. That they enshroud this belief with more
than three dimensions is their problem, not ours.
Galaxies were first thought to be “island universes,”
an oxymoron similar to today’s “parallel universes” and “multiverses.” Since
the discovery of galaxies, we have discovered galaxy clusters and clusters of
clusters. In UCT, we proposed a “local mega vortex” as the next step up in the universal
hierarchy. Nevertheless, we would never consider this yet another oxymoronic
universe.
Infinity is the recipe for the universe.
Without infinity, there is no place from which the constituents of the universe
can come from. Hawking and Krauss must remain forever flummoxed. The fact is
that the question-begging never ends. Matter always contains other
matter. The religionists who claim that god created it all are eternally faced
with the logical question: Then who created god? Even they can have no answer
without infinity. The correct answer is that the material world goes on and on,
without end. To posit finity is to join the flat-earthers in their imagined
jump into the abyss.
