Re: disproving infinity paradoxes; Hilbert’s Hotel?

bruno’s logic, hail

Quote:
I believe that there can be only one infinte thing existing as the source of, everything else, that seemingly comes and goes in and out of existence.
i agree. like the blake quote.

Quote:
I believe that there are an infinite quantity of universes in the infinite realm of existence.
disagree. as i see there can only be one universe which is a universal moment. this cannot be replicated as all the core attributes are taken up in the moment.
secondly, think of it like this; add a zillion universes then more and more etc, where do you stop? you never get any closer to infinity. it is the same if we think of this universe then previous universes and future ones, it can never stretch to infinity and hence causes a paradox i.e. cannot be so.

How many Angels can you fit on the head of a pin?
All of them!
true, space is not infinite, its just the gap inbetween things.

i would presume that you could equally fit one angel on existence, in other words they are sizeless and dimensionless, they can be of any given size and hence are not finite nor infinite etc.
interesting point indeed!! this is one area we cannot touch with science, it is like eternity and its dwellers, both exist within each other - so to say. so we can have an entire level/realm of ‘existence’ that is not physical and does not comply to any descriptions yet can belong to any.
better not mention such things to atheists eh.
