Problems with an Infinite Universe

The big bang event (the original point of expansion) not only gave birth to time but also space itself. It wasn't matter and energy that started to expand from this single point. It's also space itself that expanded.

You need to read Flatland by... what the hell is his name?Anyway, it gives a very enlightening explanation of why 3 dimensional beings like us have such a hard time understanding what the other dimensions beyond time look like.When you ask the question "what did it expand into and what did it displace?" it shows me that you are still thinking 3 dimensional. You want to to be able to visualize space expanding and displacing other 3 dimensional-like "stuff". You want to be able to visualize what the 5th, 6th, 7th, and so on dimensions look like. The truth is not a single person on this planet can imagine what those dimensions look like. Mathematical calculations and years of research have shown that there are at least 10 dimensions in our universe, yet we can only perceive 4 (depth, width, height, and time).So, right now I don't believe anyone has an answer for you. I have heard of some rather wild theories out there though.By the way, if you can demonstrate what the other dimensions look like, you will probably win a nobel prize. If that happen, don't forget to mention my name, the one that gave you the idea.

True. I probably chose the wrong word to describe it. After all, we are talking about something that is so beasty and theoretical that only a hand full of people claim to have an idea of what's going on.

Ever heard of the theory where the visible universe is actually larger than the actual universe?

I've been ignoring your posts until now because your initial post in this thread made no sense at all. I've gotten into the habit of just ignoring the ramblers of this site. However, after Eta's responses, I just had to go back and reread your messages. It seems to me that you don't even know what a point particle is. This paragraph alone tells me something. You are somehow trapped in a time warp where classical newtonian physics still apply to the subatomic world. To some extent, it is helpful, but we've moved beyond that. You seem to think that electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom in a way much like the planets orbit around the sun. This is out-of-date science.You could benefit more on this forum by asking more questions than making claims.By the way, the reason people are reluctant to debating with you is because you have posted a bunch of pseudofacts (if there is such a word). It's pointless to make an argument against a pile of crap, wouldn't you agree?
