If the universe is infinite, then every possible event that could occur will occur.
Therefore, the universe is deterministic. For if it were not, then there would be no guarantee that some particular event would occur, contradicting the fact that every possible event must occur (under the assumption that the universe is infinite).
And if the universe is deterministic, then there is no free will, since all decision-making entities are simply a part of the universe and subject to the physical laws of reality.
I don't believe in an infinite universe but this isn't an argument and doesn't prove anything

Why do you let brainlets into your poopoo peepee fields?
Nolan Smith
This is such a retarded argument.
Stars get dimmer the further away they are. Of course you're not going to be able to see the ones that are really far away.
Joshua Garcia
Meme Science, the universe can be infinite but it is NOT random so not everything that can happen will happen.
Eli Green
Between 1 and 2 there is an infinite amount of numbers, therefore there MUST be a number there that begins with a 3
Nolan Lopez
that is offset by there being more of them
surface area is 4*pi*r*r
Owen Miller
>If the universe is infinite, then every possible event that could occur will occur. Untrue
Sebastian Wilson
How do you figure that? Given infinite trials every outcome is certain.
Mason Williams
Flip a coin infinite times. Nan gets beheaded by Muslims.
Justin Cooper
You would first have to prove that the universe is infinite. We as humans don't even know if infinity even exists or is just a concept created by us.
Asher Mitchell
tfw every neural impulse, etc. is the physical reaction, however complex, of previous reactions grounded all the way to the big bang (or equivalent)
existence is literally comparable to a controlled demolition
Logan Morgan
If you had a knowledge of the initial conditions and a computer more powerful than the universe, then you could simulate it down to this thread. Unfortunately this computer would have to be bigger than the universe, so it is impossible for humans or aliens to ever be able to predict quantum events. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_theorem is legit, I think.
Jonathan Stewart
OK so the universe is finite in time but is it finite in extent?
Jordan Torres
If you flip a coin x times, it will probably come up heads 50% of the time and tails the other 50%, with a trace amount of edge flips.
You will never get a salamander rather than a heads or tails. The coin will disintegrate before that happens.

Brainlet that thinks Olbers's paradox is referring to an infinite universe. His paradox was an argument against the speed of light being infinite. If the speed of light was infinite, the sky would be the surface of the sun everywhere

1/3 has an infinite decimal representation but does not contain every possible sequence of numbers

If the universe is infinite then an exact atom for atom copy of me will be born infinite times and I am immortal
Christian Diaz
x = (-inf, inf) sin x = [-1, 1] if you are catching my drift. just because something expands infinitely doesn't imply it contains everything. it can just as well be periodic.
Easton Bell
That would require defying the laws of physics. Anything that CAN happen will happen, meaning anything within the laws of physics.
Juan Morgan
Yeah. But, when people say things like "There is a planet inhabited only by Batman", it ignores the sustainability ofsuch a circumstance and the way it would arise. Furthermore, it is still only theoretically that everything would happen, since, as we all know, you can flip a coin a quintillion times and have no heads. Infinite would be a bad way to describe it; unlimited, boundless, or infinitely expanding would be better. The universe does have an edge, which is just as far as the light's reached us.
Really, this is a moot point since the universe is very much finite.
William Myers
>If the universe is infinite, then every possible event that could occur will occur.
Why?
Hunter Baker
The observable universe is finite. We are talking beyond that. It may very well be infinite and boundless.
In the case of a boundless infinite universe, there IS a planet with only Batman. It doesn't need sustainability. It exists at every instant.
Xavier Thompson
>If the universe is infinite, then every possible event that could occur will occur
So is there another universe where I have one extra facial hair? Two, three, ten trillion, or is there a limit?
How about where the monkeys write all your math equations that impress you so much? It's not as if any of you came up with any of the formulas: followers.
Connor Morales

Logan Turner
All events occurring somewhere or some time in the universe is not determinism.
Luke Wilson
You're wrong and the guy you're quoting is correct.
Luis Adams
>If the universe is infinite, then every possible event that could occur will occur. >Therefore, the universe is deterministic.
Let's assume for a moment that every possible event that could occur will occur. Is it theoretically possible to predict when all of those events will occur? No. So the universe isn't deterministic.
Oliver Reed
>There is a planet inhabited only by Batman What happens when a planet with only Batman collides with a planet with only Jokers?
Samuel Murphy
>then every possible event that could occur will occur. What about the event that someone makes an actual nondeterministic free choice.
Justin Powell
> 1/3 has an infinite amount of digits in its decimal expansion >Therefore every digit that could be in a decimal expension will be in it
Lrn 2 logic m8
Brayden Campbell
Doesn't work like that. How about pi? Let's say the digits are truly random. You would eventually find my phone number, and also the true exact number of subatomic particles in the observable universe.

just fucking immediately KILL yourself. I fucking mean it, this kind of brainletism shouldn't be tolerated anywhere, specially not on a science board. You make me fucking sick

>If the universe is infinite, then every possible event that could occur will occur. You can imagine a crystal lattice extending infinitely in all directions. If you substitute the same copy of a finite universe for each atom you'll have an infinite whole with a finite number of variations, with certain events and situations never occuring.
Adrian Jenkins
>It exists at every instant. Not in the early stages of the universe, the elements for batman can't exist that early let alone the compounds
Brandon Nguyen
Wrong. If the universe is infinite, then every possible event that could occur is ALMOST CERTAIN to occur.
There is no law that states that in an infinite sequence of independent trials, every possible outcome (or sequence of outcomes) must occur. If the events are not independent, and are instead contingent on past events, you're assuming your conclusion.
