Now on to matter. Matter occupies space and has three-dimensional shape. Anything you can point to is ‘matter’. Apples, clouds, rocks, stars, birds and everything else. All of it is matter. But how much matter is there in the universe? There are two options.

1. A specific amount of matter surrounded by endless empty space.

2. An infinite amount of matter located throughout endless space.

If the universe had only a finite amount of matter, then we would apparently be very special compared to ‘everywhere else’. Because ‘everywhere else’ (outside of the finite clump of matter) would be nothing but endless empty space. This type of egocentric thinking has always failed us in the past. Humans have always wanted to limit the size of the universe as much as possible so that they can feel more special. First there was the flat earth with the stars, sun and moon suspended in a firmament. Then there was the round earth that was located at the center of everything, with the sun and all the planets revolving around it. But, this was eventually disproven. The earth is not important at all. It’s just one of many planets which is orbiting a star (the sun). But did it end there? No, of course not. Astronomers needed to keep their universe finite and measurable, so they went on to claim that the entire universe is only comprised of the stars that we can see in the Milky Way. But once again, the infinite universe made fools of them because it was then discovered that what is now called the ‘Milky Way’ is just one of billions of galaxies. Did they finally give up on ‘the finite universe’? Nope, now they have the Big Bang theory which claims that there is a finite amount of galaxies that are contained inside an expanding sphere of space or so-called ‘space-time’. (Yes, the common version of Big Bang theory not only claims that there is a finite amount of matter but even that space is finite. Finite space is a definite impossibility as discussed above.) You’ll notice that each step of the way that most people throughout history have been trying to deny that the universe is infinite and that there is no ‘center’.

Which is more likely? That there’s a countable amount of objects surrounded by ‘infinite nothing’, or an uncountable amount in all directions of space. Both ideas might sound ‘strange’ at first glance. But it’s either one or the other. There are no other options. (Finite space is not even an option since it can’t be visualized and makes no sense). Common sense clearly supports the infinite amount of objects/matter proposal. Never, in our everyday experience, do we ever come across anything like ‘an infinite void’. There is absolutely no evidence of such a monster. All we ever come in contact with are objects (matter) and based on that it would obviously make more sense to conclude that that’s what we would find if we were to travel past what is currently claimed to be ‘the furthest galaxy in the universe’. We would simply find even more matter, whether it be more galaxies or something else. Not an infinite sea of pure nothingness. Both logic and history clearly support this.
