In an infinite universe, there would be an infinite number of possibilities but only a finite amount of ways to build things in terms of the basic natural elements (assuming Bob's universe works the way we think ours does.) That would mean that patterns of matter would have to repeat themselves ad infinitum. Thus Bob, the biggest fish in the universe, has infinite copies of himself swimming around the universe infinity.

No peaking, just geeking.

... people often forget that even if the universe was infinite it still have physical rules if it did not some guy called Hocuspokus in a galaxy far away would have invented a bomb that would destroy the whole universe in a instant, and yesterday another dude called Hulahula from another galaxy did the same thing.


Our physics models are our best effort at trying to write down what "rules" the universe operates under, and it appears those rules apply wherever we look with our telescopes.

"In a infinity universe there was once a fish called Bob, Bob was the biggest fish in the universe, when Bob died a infinite number of fish was the exact same size as he was."

What physical rule is going to prevent one of those infinite number of fish the exact same size as Bob was from having one more molecule than Bob did? If they have one more molecule, then they are not the exact same size as Bob was.

Hereditary glandular disorder.

Jokes aside, infinity is a concept and doesn't actually exist outside of abstract language that describes a fiction.


I would change your last sentence to read:

...infinity is a concept and *does* exist outside of abstract language that describes a *state of being*.
