Hmmmm, I seem to have hit a problem here. My previous post started out as a statement showing why Phoenix-D was right, that an infinite universe would not be infinitly hot.
However, in my post I stated that any particular point in in infinite universe would contain not an infinite number of photons, but very small and finite fraction of the total number of photons in the universe. However, according to those that are supposed to know about this stuff, any fraction of infinity is still infinity. Of course mathematics also tells us that any number divided by itself is 1. Therefore infinity divided by infinity is simultaneously equal to infinity, and 1. (By the way, if noone has thought of that before I am going to name it the Geoschmo paradox.
)
So I guess Phoenix-D and Grandpa Kim are both right. Glad we cleared that up.
