The universe is not infinite. This has been refuted for like a thousand years, but people on /sci/ are uneducated on the work of the philosophers of the past, I guess. If you accept that the universe is "infinite" (and therefore infinitely divisible), then I could create a scenario where movement is impossible, where nothing can move, since any movement implies moving first half of that movement, and that movement half of that movement, etc. etc. making all movement impossible.
As such, the universe must be finite, and not infinitely divisible (the same being true, obviously, for time).
The only way you could concieve of the universe as infinite is if you define infinite the same way as Spinoza (when it can't be limited by another thing of the same nature).

This is why /sci/ will never be able to comprehend truth
