Default Re: Either Life Exists Elsewhere or The Universe is finite.

[ QUOTE ]

Here's a thought:

According to this theory, someone, somewhere in the universe would have found or made a tool to destroy everything in the universe, and used it (since every possible version of every possible thing exists). Therefore, because the universe (and us) still exists, the universe either


[/ QUOTE ]

The theory is that a NON-ZERO probability will be repeated in an infinite universe. There is nothing to show that the ability to destroy the universe is a non-zero probability.

I have kicked a soccer ball before, so I know that the action of kicking a soccer ball can happen, therefore somewhere else in the universe someone else must have also kicked a soccer ball if it is infact infinite.

Since we can wager with some certainty that the universe has not been destroyed, we can assume that destroying universe is a ZERO probability event or the universe is finite. We cannot be sure which, but it does not prove the universe is finite.
