Default Re: Important Math Question

Yes, finite portion might have been more correct. However, you still have problems trying to calculate the possible number of photons at any one point in space at any particular point in time.

The whole issue of infinity is probbably beyond our reach as a species anyway, except in a very theoretical discussion. Calculations involving infinity tend to break down into paradoxes. Perhaps the question shouldn't be whether the universe is infinite, but whether infinity even exsists.
