No, not quite.
The universe can be infinite without having infinite mass or infinite number of particles.
"infinite" just means it doesn't stop. Take a number and divide it by 2. Keep going. Forever. That's infinite.
cheers

How can something run into infinite if it had a beginning. What i want to say is, that the universe is bound to the subject that made it possible. So for example once the Sustainer disposes it, it no longer can be infinite it will be set to absolute nothing. Only in theoretical Math values can have a beginning and be infinite, but again, even so, when the environment is disposed, then that loop will also crash, because there will be no spectator and no physics. Do you not realize that the world is programmed just as you program something, only the Creator of everything is exactly knowing what He is doing, He is most-excellent at it. Do you expect yourself a programer and your apps intelligent design, while the universe and "life" came from Nothing?

According to Einstein, the only two infinite things are the universe and human stupidity, but he was not sure about the universe.

It just doesn't matter. We are sitting on one of know one even has a really good guess how many planets. There's no way, from here, to know if the Universe is or isn't infinite. I just don't care.

There was one like this that I loved...
On any planet in which intelligent life is found, the probability that they will explain their existence on a God is 1...
To the original post, even if infinite, it may be the case that intelligence is only on one planet at a time! And I can't wait for Earths turn!

Flipping a coin on a flat surface almost always results in heads or tails.
But there is a very small possibility that the coin will come to rest on its edge.
However, given a infinite number of flips, the coin will come to rest on its edge an
infinite number of times.
I believe infinity is best thought of as a convenient mathematical construct.

What is the 'end' of the universe? Is it the most distant star, mote of dust, particle? Of course not, because we can always ask the question, how much nothingness comes after that? That is a question we can grasp.
Does the universe expand outwardly until the very fabric of spacetime dissipates into nothingness, where no energy can exist? Does spacetime just loop back in on itself in a 4D sphere, or saddle?
All this means is that we cannot travel, see or measure anything where there is no spacetime. So in what context does spacetime exist? By what mechanism does spacetime have any meaning? Or is spacetime synonymous with existence? Is there nothing else at all to explain?
This discussion always leads me to the conclusion that the fact that there is anything; matter, spacetime, anything at all, is purely absurd. Our whole existence seems fantastically mythical.

Look up "Olbers's Paradoxon" (from 1823!) - by this simple question, one finds that there is no good reason why it is infinite.

Good afternoon to all.
I was wondering, is there a term for the person who's lumbered with the job of trying to merge code changes from one branch to another which hasn't been done in ages and has thousands of changes and conflicts and PAIN? On a bloody FRIDAY?
Tried resolving conflicts in .sln files? It's impossible, even for robots.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Configuration Manager is the title I have heard when someone is dedicated full time to source control, continuous integration, and build management. Not slang per se, but something you might be able to put on a resume.
