Are you saying that there are many universes?
.
If by ‘universe’ we mean ‘all that exists’, then obviously there can only be one, and there can be nothing outside it.
.
But the infinite universe consists of countless finite universes, worlds, objects, and entities of every conceivable size.
.
The infinite totality of all these worlds or systems makes up boundless space.
.
The theory that space popped into being out of nothingness in a ‘big bang’ a few billion years ago and then proceeded to expand to its present vast but supposedly finite size cannot be taken seriously.
.
Nothing comes from nothing, and if space is finite, where does it end and what lies beyond?
.
Big bang theorists claim that space might curve back upon itself so that it is both finite and boundless.
.
But this is clearly just an illogical, mathematical fantasy.
.
It’s much more reasonable to assume that the universe is boundless, beginningless, and endless, but subject to constant transformations.
.
Does the infinite universe have concrete existence?
.
Only things that are measurable can have concrete existence.
.
Iinfinitude is immeasurable and is therefore an abstraction.
.
An infinite universe basically means that there are literally numberless finite, concrete, substantial systems.
.
Which continue limitlessly and endlessly in all directions, inwardly and outwardly.
