*Warning alot of thoeretical stuff in this post concerning Aliens, and a finite or infinite univers*




Ok i guess you didn't heed my warning if you are reading this. Anyways a friend and i at school deduced that the universe MUST be finite. heres why.

If the universe is infinite then there must be an infinite amount of civilizations, these civilizations must range technologically in relativity to us from being infinitely more powerful than us to being infinitely less powerful then us. Everything is relative, for example the inhabitants of the surface of our sun are infinitely less powerful than us, however an advanced alien civilization could regard us as we regard the inhabitants of our sun (nothing). Therefore since there is an infinite number of civilizations ranging on a technology scale form being infinitely less powerfull than us to infinitely more powerful than us, these civilizations must have mixed feelings on the planet earth. in an infinite amount of civilizations the way in which our continents our arranged form the worst insult imaginable, or the TV noise we have been emitting over the past 50 years has pissed them off so much that an infinite amount of infinitely more advanced civilizations should have destroyed the planet earth an infinite amount of times in its history. If the universe is finite then this would not happen because there are only a finite amount of civilisations and we may not piss any of them off enough for them to destoy us completely

Another interesting possibility if the universe was infinite is that there is an infinite amount of civilisations exactly like earth which have evolved exactly in the same manner as earth and which well continue to evolve exactly like earth for all the infinitness of time
