The Infinite Universe
81
When we look at the night sky, we see countless stars within our Milky Way galaxy and telescopes reveal more and more galaxies every day. But does it ever end? I would argue that the universe never comes to an end. The further you travel out; you will always find more and more matter. An infinite universe in all directions. There certainly cannot be any border or boundary that surrounds everything because there would always have to be something on the other side of it. Nor can there be a finite amount of matter that’s surrounded by 'infinite nothing' or 'infinite empty space' because these are nonsensical concepts that have nothing to do with physical reality. Besides, are we really that special? Is our universe a finite oddity surrounded by absolutely nothing? Infinite nothing with a tiny speck of 'something' which we call "the universe"? Or is there simply a never-ending amount of matter in all directions. Clearly, the latter makes much more sense. There is an unlimited amount of material objects (such as galaxies, etc.) in all directions. Also, what is "empty space" supposed to be? All of what people generally regard as 'space' (such as air) is really some kind of matter in the gas state and these gases are composed of smaller parts like everything else. There is no such thing as empty space. Likewise, there is also no solid matter since all matter is comprised of smaller pieces. A finite universe assumption is irrational because it has to include the idealistic notions of "perfectly empty space" (end of the universe) and "perfectly solid matter" (elementary particles).
Yet the current model of the universe in mainstream science is in fact that of a finite universe. Not only that, but the current model is an especially strange version of a finite universe. Mathematical physicists claim that everything is inside of a 4D expanding sphere called “space-time”. But what lies outside of this unimaginable sphere, according to this irrational theory? Maybe some of their unimaginable extra-dimensional 'multiverses'? The word “multiverse” is an oxymoron. If uni-verse is defined as “the totality of everything that exists”, then obviously there cannot be multiple “all that exists”. This 4D finite model of the universe makes absolutely no sense. In fact, they even claim that the 4th dimension is time. But what does time have to do with dimensions (length, width and height)? Absolutely nothing, that’s what. Time and dimension are completely unrelated concepts that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Saying that time is the 4th dimension is like claiming that justice is the 4th dimension. It’s complete nonsense. There are no extra dimensions. Matter can only be measured with the three dimensions of length, width and height.
The current cosmological model also claims that this 4D universe was created out of an abstract concept called “a singularity”. A singularity is truly just a synonym for nothing though. According to this so-called “Big Bang” theory, everything appeared out of nothing. Originally, the nothing or “energy” or “singularity” (or God) was in an extremely hot and dense state and it was this way for all eternity, but then a miracle happened. The nothing began expanding rapidly. Then this expansion of nothing eventually caused particles to appear out of nowhere. This is the type of astounding nonsense that comes about from relying too heavily on mathematics instead of reality. Oh, and of course the “Big Bang came from another universe / M-theory” is not any better off. This idea still involves many universes being created out of nothing and it involves a bunch of unimaginable extra-dimensional multiverse nonsense. No matter which way you slice it, the Big Bang theory is completely impossible and leads to contradictions and absurdities.
The much more obvious conclusion is that the universe is eternal. Matter is always recycled, it cannot be created or destroyed. So, in addition to the universe being infinite in all directions, it is also eternal (i.e. time-less) Indeed, time is merely an abstraction invented by humans. Time is just a mathematical system of counting, one second, two seconds, three seconds, etc. which is based off of the perpetual motion of matter.
But that’s not all. There’s still another “infinity” that I haven’t mentioned. Infinitely small matter and infinitely large matter. It was once believed that atoms were the smallest, most fundamental units of matter. But, then it was discovered that the atom is also made of smaller parts. Everything is made of smaller PART-icles, and those particles are made of even smaller particles and so on and so forth. There are no fundamental units of matter. Infinite shapes, shapes made of smaller shapes. It could not be any other way. The idea of a perfectly solid 'fundamental unit of matter' is complete nonsense. What would be inside of this alleged 'elementary particle'? The notion does not make any sense. All entities, without exception, must be made of smaller parts and so this means that alleged elementary particles such as the 'Higgs Boson' are impossible to exist.
Likewise, the so-called 'space' (gas) between objects is also filled with smaller parts and those parts are made of even smaller ones, etc, etc. There is no perfectly empty space and there is no perfectly solid matter. All matter contains smaller matter in either the solid, liquid or gas state. The same applies to the macroscopic direction: stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, etc, etc, etc. This all implies perpetual cause and effect; the motion of an object is caused by the infinite matter in motion within and without. Just as there is no motion without matter; so there is no matter without motion. All matter is in constant motion and there is no matterless motion.
The scientific establishment is quite fond of this fallacy of matterless motion. A good example of this is the word “energy”. But what does energy mean? This is what energy means: “the capacity to do work”. Energy is an abstract concept and yet many are confused into treating this irrational word as an object, a fallacy known as “reification”. What this essentially amounts to though is matterless motion; all motion with no matter. Absolute nonsense. In reality, there is no such thing as energy. There is only matter. Matter ‘exists’ whereas motion of matter ‘occurs’.
Matter can only interact with other matter by way of direct surface to surface contact. And yes, that includes the actions that we call 'gravity' and 'magnetism'. These are mediated by sub-atomic objects that push against other objects.
Since ‘all that exists’ is matter (objectively), this means that the word 'universe’ refers to "all matter" or "everything". In conclusion, the universe is infinite (never-ending) in both the microscopic and macroscopic directions and is eternal (lasting forever). Matter cannot be created or destroyed.

I can't believe people really think that time is a dimension! Hilarious.
Thank you very much. I am wrestling this week with stuff like this. This is what I was trying to say, and ask. You did a great job with this.
This'll always be one of the greatest challenges for science to accomplish a definite conclusion about this "space with no-end". Thank you for discussing the subject with noticeable scientific explainations. Very nice hub.
Out of curiosity, how did you come to your conclusions? Is this all from your own philosophizing or based on some Discovery channel documentaries or something?
I don't intend to come across as rude, but it doesn't seem like you've actually done any post-grad studies and are just speculating based on a very limited understanding of the concepts mentioned. You should probably provide some sources or otherwise establish credibility before trying to write authoritatively on topics normally addressed by astrophysicists and cosmologists that have dedicated large portions of their lives to their fields. Again, I don't mean any of that to be insulting, but rather as constructive criticism.
Interesting concept. the theory of an infinite universe with infinite mass gives way to the concept of repetition. Although I will ask something, if it is true that there really is no true "atom" and that things just continually get infinitesimally smaller and smaller the further you go, is the same thing true in the other direction. Is there actually something larger than the universe, or is the universe itself,(by which I mean our segment of matter with no gaps in between)Part of a larger construct, which itself is part of a larger construct, and so on and so one.....Then again the terms universe and atom are vague, an atom is technically the smallest part of matter, while the universe is considered all that exists, as such they are undefined concepts which exist just as much as time.
By universe I mean our current understanding of the infinite goolog of matter.
Not the largest thing in existence.
Atom meant the a similiar thing as well you know, but they still refer to it as the atom even though their are smaller things in existence. If universe is meant to describe something that we have not yet discovered the full extent of then the word should not really exist.
I really enjoy Infinite712's material and reasoning. Would you or anyone be interested in a new video I found on YouTube, "A Universe From Nothing," put out by VideoNSF, the speaker is Lawrence Krauss. It does not grab you and the temptation is to dismiss it, but it comes back to haunt you. He mentions virtual particles. My question is, how are we going to explain the differance between real and virtual particles? Also does Infinite712, I am sure he is aware, most of the Big Bang people are not Christian, but Agnostic, and it is the current prevalant theory. Maybe we just do not know absolutely. I think about it. I really do appreciate Infinite712's views and reasoning, immensely. I need more time to think, years.
