Infinity is a number without human comprehension. In this topic, I would like to discuss the vastness of the universe and infinity. I will accept "scientific" responses, but I do not like seeing them because it's based on only a couple hundred years of research. But that's the point of debates, so go ahead and put em' out there.

Definition:

This is what I believe: (Pretty philosophical view on things, but here it goes)

If the universe were infinite, then there would be an infinite amount of possibilities. This means everything we see and look at.. is infinite. If the universe is infinite, then there must be an infinite amount of Earth's out there, and infinite amount of people exactly like you. An infinite amount of everything. Maybe what we see as humans is just an infinite amount of dimensions overlapping eachother?

Again, the possibilities are completely (and literally) endless.

If everything were infinite (including the universe), nothing would exist in my opinion.

But, again, the possibilties are endless :p


My religious point of view out of all of this:

I see God(or the higher being, whatever you want to call it) as everything. Because if something is truly a God, why wouldn't it be EVERYTHING, or existence itself?

I could go on and on about this, but I think this pretty much sums up my point of view.

Everything is a Paradox.

Sorry if this is a pointless debate, but i find it very interesting to see what other people think about this.

These are my two thoughts on Infinity.

1. It's a problematic solution to solve the paradox: "How many times?"

Infinity is just a value. A value that's undetermined. You can keep going and going, and you'll never stop or reach the end of it. That's just what infinity does.

Unless you consider multiverse instead of universe, infinity is restricted inside our universe.

2. This baby here! I don't want math, but I want something else that is infinity. And this is my answer to that dilemma.

Dear Failenx, while the topic you raise is interesting, it is not a debate in my opinion. I don't see any rational way to talk about this topic, since, unfortunately, we know nothing about it. For this reason this thread is closed. If you disagree with my action, please free to PM me and we'll discuss it. Since this is an interesting topic, I'm also willing to consider moving it to general discussion forum, if that is what you wish. Again, feel free to communicate with me through PMs.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
