There are several notions of infinity in the Mathematical world. Check out ALEPH-Null Yes Also called Aleph Naught. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number#Aleph-naught There is also some sets of non-integer numbers that are not infinitive:) |

Entropy was almost zero...like limes, it tended to become 0...but never could! Like some things like "absolute zero", that nothing can become...almost, yes...but not absolute...tend to come to 0K, but never become... It's the same with Enthropy: 1. it's not 0, 'cause the Universe didn't come from NOTHING...it became from sthg! Proven over & over...even though some scientist tend to "absolute 0 enthropy" in the begining... 2. it's not 0, 'cause in a isolated system you can't increase or decrease energy...there have been so much talk about our Universe been OPEN SYSTEM... ;) 3. in OPEN SYSTEM you can get energy from surrounding areas & take them in your system...so our Universe expands in those "pan-sea" of matter/energy...so there was something, just we didn't call it Universe... ... non-profit org.

There are many theories:) Here is a new one. Big Bang, Deflated? Universe May Have Had No Beginning http://www.livescience.com/49958-theory-no-big-bang.html In the new formulation, there is no singularity, and the universe is infinitely old. |

I have seen several different descriptions lately of what is supposed to be the largest structure in the universe. I question what the definition of being a structure is. Or the absence of them? non-profit org. Play4Life in Zagreb, Croatia, EU |

In physical cosmology, galaxy filaments, also called supercluster complexes, great walls, or great attractors,[1][2] are amongst the largest known cosmic structures in the universe. They are massive, thread-like formations, with a typical length of 50 to 80 megaparsecs h−1, (163 to 261 million light years) that form the boundaries between large voids in the universe.[3] Filaments consist of gravitationally bound galaxies; parts where a large number of galaxies are very close to each other (in cosmic terms) are called superclusters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_filament http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/galform/virgo/millennium/ They look like spider web in the morning dew. |

This is big:) Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall.[3][4] This would be an extremely huge structure of the universe, with a mean size in excess of[clarification needed] 2 billion to 3 billion parsecs (6 to 10 billion light-years).

Maybe the universe is next to another universe in which bubbles merge or are interconnected in nature. |

As always, the more we learn the less we know. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

As always, the more we learn the less we know. Or perhaps The more we learn the more we learn that there is more to learn. |

Perhaps we will know everything about nothing. |

dS > 0 is a fact. Hopefully dKnowledge / dt > 0 is a fact as well. They seek them here, they seek them there Those CERN people seek them everywhere Are they in heaven or are they in hell? Those demned elusive damn god particle. btw. dPopulation_Growth / dt is now decreasing... |

" I know nothing; but, I know what I don't know" Hmmm. Sounds like a contradictory to me. Shouldn't it be "I know that I don't know everything"? Or perhaps "cogitationis nomine complector id omne, quod sic in nobis est ut ejus immediate conscii simus" Jan al-Swedi. |

" I know nothing; but, I know what I don't know" English is a funny language. |

" I know nothing; but, I know what I don't know" And scandinavian languages as well:) But Socrates was a greek. "I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing." "To know, is to . That is the meaning of true knowledge" http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/s/socrates.html But knowing that you know nothing... I call that a knowledge. |
