Our universe is not infinite. It is just one of an uncountably large, but also not infinite, amount of other universes; some almost identical to ours right down to the atom, others more wildly different than you can imagine. Their purpose was to compute an equation, of sorts - acting as highly specific entropy-driven nondeterministic closed systems wherein there is no possibility of
actual infinity. The best way to explain this would be to conjecture that there can be first only actual nothing, and then actual infinity. The two concepts exist as direct but fundamentally asymmetrical consequences of one another. Remember that we are referencing a nothing that can't even be "nothing", or zero, because those are both countable. True Nothing is Fundamental ∅. Because "things" must exist in an infinite set, primordial infinity holds a degree of intrinsic capacity over primordial nothingness. Therefore it is capable of performing [an infinite amount of] extremely basic operations, eventually leading to the creation of all you see before you in entropy.
Only one deterministic truth can be proven through observation in
mathematical equilibrium. Nothingness is truth. To be infinite is painful untruth. Primordial nothing precedes primordial something and so it cannot be superseded as a fundamental meta-law. Because there is no nondeterminism or end to true infinity, and the finite cannot be expressed or observed within or by true infinity, the entropic systems of which we are a part were necessitated into being as the only possible way to prove through observation that there was a limit for infinity somewhere within the finite beyond the countable set; the perfect axiom which allows it to become unmade, to return equilibrium point to true Nothing. And there is. The mathematical equation is not currently known, but in the unlikely event that it was ever discovered by an intelligence within the vast universal array it would be the most devastating piece of knowledge ever held by a thinking mind.
The only thing that remains outside of entropy is Fundamental ∅. From our perspective, this event happened long ago...there is no such thing as "time" to the infinite. If you were wondering if you can observe evidence of any of this, you actually can. The parameters of our systems can be broken. You can see this happen when the limits of its gravity are exceeded enough to cause a sort of tearing effect in the fabric which contains us: a black hole forms. Infinity "peeks" in. By the time our speed of light eventually brings observable equilibrium Earth-local, we will begin to observe our black holes behaving...quite a bit differently.
My cat explained all this to me and it proves that everything that we can observe is just a sort of computational metalogic error.
The problem is that returning to True Nothing is no big deal for a fundamental meta-law, but for a nondeterministic consciousness it is much different. This has something to do with causality laws ceasing to exist within equilibrium, among other things. The experience of death and terminal nonlocality for a conscious mind is apparently pretty bad. My cat says that in all of the universes with spoken or written language, there has never been a word to describe how bad it is.
