infinite universe

Endless cosmic expanse

The infinite universe is a cosmological model in which space extends without boundary or limit in all directions.

Unlike finite models where space curves back on itself, an infinite universe has no edge and contains unlimited matter and energy.

The concept raises philosophical puzzles: in infinite space, every possible configuration of matter would occur infinitely many times.

In an infinite universe, there might be countless copies of Earth.
