Any logic hounds out there? Is this a true statement?

Given infinity, all that is possible, is inevitable.

True, or false?

If false, why?

 

for that statement to be true as stated it would require a static universe.

The universe is fluid, what is possible one day may get sucked into a black hole the next, therefore a given possibility that exists prior to being sucked into a black hole no longer exists, therefore its not inevitable. On a more grand scale we could argue that the same thing exists elsewhere, but now we see the argument in favor of yes getting increasingly weaker.

You would need to add several qualifiers to that statement to make it a yes.

 

False.

An infinite universe, playing by the same set of rules like the law of physics, will not have the option of infinite outcomes; only those outcomes allowed by the rules.

 

Mike thats not what the statement says.
It says anything that is 'possible', a limitation on infinite outcomes, rules are observations that are set in place after the fact

PS, I like that feynman quote

 

We call them rules and we observe them after the fact, but the rules existed before that. The grass was green and the sky blue before we came along and assigned names to colors.

 

thatd be a post hoc fallacy unless you have some cosmic physics book that man did not articulate. IOW the events/objects et al are there but not the rules, you said rules. Rules which are the abstract construction/models are 'created' by man

 

The Mankind Congress did not pass the law of gravity and imposed it on an unforgiving universe. It was already there. We just named it.

 

The universe is a radical variable.

 

thats 1/2 truth
I agree we named it
then we studied and modeled it
all your so called 'laws' of physics are models designed by generations past.
there is no magic cosmic physics book that had all the rules prewritten and all we had to do is copy paste them. The rules you speak about are physics models.

 

Depends on what you mean by "infinity." Infinite time, infinite space, both? If you mean infinite universes, then I'd say that likely, yes.

 

That was covered:

"All that is possible, is inevitable."

 

Define "possible."

 

Since it's infinite, it really doesn't matter if something gets sucked into a black hole.

Infinity would provide many more.

And, yes, the black hole would grow in influence, but hey - infinity!

 

It would include everything that conforms to the ultimate physics of the universe.

That is, it can't be restricted by the limits of our current understanding of physics, since what is possible is not limited by what we know.

 

So only those outcomes allowed by the rules, or "our current understanding of physics" is possible.

Hmmm

 

LOL - that is absolutely NOT what I said.

I made it very clear that our knowledge today is NOT a limit. It is only the knowledge we have today.

What is possible in the universe is based on the universe that exists, which includes things that we do not know.

Again, what is possible is NOT limited by human understanding.

 

future physics, but that physics has not been invented yet otherwise wed be taking pleasure cruises to alpha centauri

 

true but not 'that' one!

 

lost your webster again?

 

Ah, more intellectually dishonest semantic games are on the way, folks. Buckle in. I assure everyone except you on this thread understood my sentence.

 

If we include the many-worlds theory occupying that infinite space, absolutely.

 

I spent about 10 minutes testing it and I couldn't find any falsehoods.

 

Yes. To be clear, "that one" did exactly what it did.

One can't predefine what it "should have done" or "would have done had there been no black hole in the way", or what we would have preferred that it might do.

The termination in the black hole is one of the possibles.

Since the assumption is infinity, we would believe that there are other Kokomojojo's out there posting away. Some of them may have some Willreadmore answering such posts. Maybe one or both of us live on some other planet somewhere.

 

Which would be covered if you read the word "possible" in the OP. By the way, since you brought up MW, you should check up definition 1b.

 

I think we wouldn't even have to resort to Everett interpretation of QM or any other.

Even just this straight up universe would have plenty of space if it is infinite. Even if we figure the incredibly small odds of having another Lucifer and another Willreadmore on a planet they call Earth, it certainly doesn't approach infinity.
