With this topic i'd like to discuss what problems would arise if we accept the idea that the space in the universe is infinite. Could this mean we have a very wrong idea about what "to exist" means? Wouldn't this mean that physical existence is impossible and life is an illusional perception of our minds? What scientific explanation could be given for the existence of an infinite universe? Wouldn't the existence of endless space automatically rule out the existence of parallel universes, a creator, a beginning, an end, a purpose? If we assume that the space of the universe is finite, what could happen when the expansion of the observable universe reaches the boundaries?
