| What on Earth (this Earth, anyway) does the Multiple Worlds hypothesis of quantum physics have to do with either the number of dimensions our universe is comprised of, or the question of whether gays should be allowed to openly serve in the US military? LOL. What happened here? (Although I will tak... |

| I'll bite: Why can't an infinite universe have a beginning? It can if it came into existence from nothing. This way a universe that is spatially infinite can exist with a finite past. ruveyn Since it has been determined that it is expanding, how can an infinite universe expand? >>>Metric expansion.... |

| I'll bite: Why can't an infinite universe have a beginning? Because it would have to be created instantaneously of infinite size and not expand through time and space as we are witnessing it doing. The universe is not expanding through time and space; space and time are expanding. I seem to have br... |

| Should humans stop having beliefs that cannot be proven? No. Why do humans believe things when there is not enough evidence to prove that the belief is valid? Humans are irrational, and not just a little; for example experiments have established that some very very basic inferences are consistently... |

Fast example, in China, they're asking european architects to build their funky buildings (i don't think i need to post pics now do i?) which although modern, seem really out of place when compared ... |
