To my simple mind it also seems that there is a... err.. "Purple screen world" somewhere. Or was, or will be.
I have also ran across this theory, but the infinite time is definetely a big part of it. So if due to not infinite matter the purple world isn't right now, it sooner or later will be.

Well, I'm glad that you responded, but you didn't really comprehend my post.

Instead, try thinking about the the many-worlds interpretation. In this interpretation every event is a branch point, and the possible outcomes leads to different branches of the universe, all of which are equally real, but which cannot interact with each other. If you like this kind of "scientific" philosphy (or would it be metaphysics) you should check out the following two books, both are great The Fabric of the Cosmos and The Universe Next Door

Just because the universe is infinite doesn't mean that there is automatically life on other planets besides the one we reside on. How you got to that conclusion is beyond me.
Although I guess this is hypothetical, then yes, it is possible (or probable. Whichever).

@Tegumi
Read it wrong for the lulz!
Sorry i may do that quite often, i only get on here at the end of my day between like... 2 and 3 am? Anywho.
I think that the universe is always creating new matter. If the universe came from nothing, why would it stop after one explosion of matter? Could always hop on the fence and be like, well its possible this or its possible that. Who's to say that the universe or the matter in it is finite (or infinite). Even if it was, it still would be possible for it to create the same thing, I mean with how massive it is. The chances of that happening are probably just as likely as the chances of the universe starting in the first place. Maybe even more so.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of accepted theories to the creation of the universe from what I've heard. But it would be best to know which one your coming from I suppose. XD So please, explain yourself away!
Also as a side note, whats your sitting with dark matter?

Imagine if you will, the Universe is infinite. In the human understanding that there is NO end to it.

Where everything is exactly the same EXCEPT the computer screen you reading this on... is purple. The whole course of time for that planet, the development of living things, inventions, toys, whatever. Happened exactly as it did on YOUR planet, but that dam screen... is purple.
Somewhere out there. There is a planet where everything happened exactly the same, except one little thing. This could be said for anything and everything, the advertisement on a web page was different, the shoes you wear, one less hair, one more hair.
If you believe in infinity, then you also believe that.
There are large leaps in logic in that post my friend.
First of all, we do not know whether the universe is infinite; since we know that the universe is in fact expanding, chances are rather high that it is NOT infinite.
But lets got along with that anyway, say that we believe that the universe is infinite; there is still no reason for it to be the way you say it can be unless you count parallel universes.
While if the universe as you say is infinite, there is no saying that the infinite number of possibilities have occurred in this way. While there are many planets, many solar system, and many, MANY galaxies, their number is hardly infinite.
If there is not an infinite number of places where the infinite possibilities can occur in the exact same way as here, then there are a just as great chance that there are no other world that is exactly the same as our, as it is that there exist such a world (even with the same color of screens).
Believing that the universe expands infinitely does not mean that you believe that the contents of the universe does.

Then what was before the universe, and if it isn't infinite, what is outside its expansion?

Who knows, there might be other types of matter out there beyond our reach that has created another big bang. Since the universe is indeed "big" it might not be on our sights but it probably happened on the corner of the universe. We can't possibly prove the universe is finite if we can't reach the end of the rainbow.

And yes we do exist. What's your point? Our existence in the universe doesn't create life on other planets.

It was as Guilty Guardian said a dense mass of compressed matter. How that came to be, I do not know, nor do I know what surrounded it (possibly the same thing that is beyond the borders of the universe?). This is not possible for us to answer. It brings us to a much more... not illogical, but confusing (to say the least) concept; the concept of Time. You have to know if it had a beginning, when it begun, what was before it and why did it begin, to reach an answer on a such cosmological magnitude.
What is beyond it is not possible for me to answer either, and will most likely not be answered before humans find a way to see what is beyond the speed of light. But my position remains; since the universe are expanding (and this we know, more or less), it should not be infinite. But whatever it is, it must be something that do not hold any kind of matter, time or space at all.

The universe is still expanding, therefore it its finite.Expansion can be consider as a way to create infinity, as the thing continue to expands, the limited possibility increase and at some point it will infinite.

I don't suppose you can explain why it would have to be a one time event? Feel free to just link to articles, I don't expect you to have it memorized.

Lol, our sitting with dark matter.
My "sitting" on this subject is that the scientists know what the fuck they're talking about, and if the evidence shows that there is more gravity affecting matter than can be accounted for with visible matter, then mysterious matter that we can't see but still has an impact on visible matter called Dark Matter seems like a reasonable enough explanation to me.
Fun fact: Your argument is based on conjecture. Tegumi's is based on evidence.

At least not one of the same magnitude, no. Though I guess the phenomena wouldn't be a Big Bang if the "bang" wasn't just as "big".
