On a scale of one-to-ten, this one would fin-ish last.
Meanwhile, I'll cast-igate you because you thought you caught us on that one.
Wait . . . they're calling everyone down for free food and beer. Bye bye!

Assuming the Universe is infinite then the number of stars in said Universe must also be infinite and therefore the number of planets orbiting said stars, that can support human-like life, is infinite and therefore the chance of there being at least one other human-like civilisation is infinitely close to 1.
Therefore, do you think they would all have developed a Windows 10 O/S?

If the laws of the universe are the same throughout the universe then the answer must be, "unfortunately yes".

True but considering Yin /Yang Parallel universe concept, Windows 10 os would be opensource and widely welcomed and Linux would be closed source lol.
Linus would be in Bill's position .

True. I read the book. Where the Universe Ends, by Shel Silverstein.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

So good to see a Scientist who is committed to making sense.
The Universe cannot be infinite since no physical thing could ever be infinite.
Infinite is simply a philosophical concept until you get to metaphysical.
So, science cannot deal with infinite.
I'm glad we've had this discussion.

Indeed. One of the reasons the number zero was not adopted by many cultures and banned by various religions is that the number zero leads to the problem of infinity, and only God can be infinite.
That said, on theological grounds, since God is infinite, and infinite God could only exist in a finite universe, so I retract my statement that the universe is not infinite.

Wow, you took this much further than you probably want to since you are going to get all kinds of comments now.
However, I must mention that you said, "could only exist in"...which was a limitation or constraint and I'm not sure why there would be one.  - This question, of course, will cause this thread to be the first infinite thing found in a finite Universe.

You presume that the universe is rational.
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

It is rational. Can you pray to turn plain water into wine?

Given the original thesis, today Marc proves the non-existence of God.
I don't have the energy to go look it up to provide a reference, but Douglas Adams wrote a pretty funny bit about this in one of the Hitchhiker's books.

This assumes god exists within the universe and does not actually juggle a infinite number of universes in his hands...
Just saying...

The sum of all positive integer numbers from 1 to infinity is -1/12. Proven by science

Strike 1 : Philosophical concept and that is math.

Apparently the number (-1/12) crops up in quantum physics so maybe not so philosophical after all.

I'd like to see that!
Oh, wait, "crops up". That only exists in someones calculations they are doing.
Yes, I'm trolling you. Just kidding. I understand what you mean, but do consider the Scientific Method[^], won't you?
