Is the universe truly infinite?

ur mum an 3d torus

Yes, but you need to meditate a lot and be on psychedelics to really see that for yourself. Aka you have to be enlightened.

Maybe im just a pleb, but I don't really understand the "infinite universe" thing. Here is what I understand it to mean, please correct me if im wrong .

There is a finite amount of matter in the universe, correct? (I suppose Energy can also be considered matter but whatever).

So there is this X amount of matter, in the form of planets/solar systems / galaxies/ etc, and it is all moving through three dimensional space with the speed given to it by the big bang.

So we have celestial bodies quickly moving away from each other in all directions, steadily increasing the "boundaries" of the universe as they push back the frontier.

But then what is 'space'? What are we moving through? How can there possibly be an infinitely large area to contain the entirety of our universe?

>There is a finite amount of matter in the universe, correct?
Maybe

Space an time are concepts of thought we use to understand, explain and predict our reality. Not mediums in wich we exist.

>Expecting people to explain cosmology to you in layman's terms

Fuck off

i'm sorry to have offended you.
Can you point me in the direction of some solid scientific background then? This is a topic I am eager to learn more about

The word "universe" means everything.

Nah, you got it wrong. Most theories predict either an infinite universe with infinite matter or a finite universe, but unbounded, so geometry in higher dimensions and stuff.

Only numbers are infinite. To actually consider that space is infinite is mind-numbingly retarded
