(43,049 posts)we are three-dimensional beings and have no idea what is out there beyond what we are able to see and comprehend.
Everyone from Aristotle to our present crop of near-genius cosmologists has been working with nothing but assumptions about observable space. A few of them have claimed to imagine at least as high as the fifth dimension, but there's no way to prove it. I saw better than that on an acid trip or two many years ago, but I'm not writing papers about them.
Talk about "science" is idiotic when talking about the origins of the universe, since very little is observable and nothing is experimental or repeatable. Anthropologists and historians have a much easier time dealing with fossils and shards while trying to figure out the past than cosmology has with equations and Hubble pictures of what things looked like 15 billion years ago. At least fossils and shards have some relevance to things we personally deal with on this planet.
"Infinity" is merely a term invented when someone was afraid to say "I have no fucking clue."
