Farid Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone, If space is infinite, then it means that Earth is in unimaginably high place in reference to some places in space. Edited August 26, 2019 by Farid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 What do you mean by “high place”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your uses of the words "high" and "place" don't make much sense in this context. Do you mean high in importance, high in altitude, high in... what? When you say place, are you talking about an order in a hierarchy, or a physical spot in the universe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as if you are saying that because the universe is big, the Earth is a very long way from some things. That is slightly obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 1 hour ago, Farid said: High altitude. So you're claiming that, IF space is infinite, it somehow means Earth would have an "unimaginably high" z-axis relative to other areas of space? Is that correct? Can you say why you think this? I don't see a connection between the finite/infinite nature of the universe and where our planet lies in a particular coordinate system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When things are a long distance apart then there is a long distant between them." Not exactly worthy of a Nobel Prize but well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
