...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

New Scientist Why do you believe so strongly that the Universe is finite?
Well, it's not that we have direct evidence for a finite Universe. There are theoretical reasons. An infinite Universe seems to me untenable. First of all, we have never observed infinity in nature. Whenever you have infinities in a theory, that's where the theory fails as a description of nature. And if space was born in the big bang and yet is infinite now, we are forced to believe that it's instantaneously, infinitely big. It seems absurd. Not impossible, but absurd.
{it irritates me no end that someone with this flawed a sense of cosmological reasoning has a career and I can't even feed myself anymore. solipsistic, circular nonsense. the sun goes around the earth and is the same size as the moon. everyone knows that. you can see it by looking at them. absurd my ass}
