I have been reading several articles and papers by Stephen Hawking and, the two new noble prize winners, Smoot and Mather, and simply don't understand how by radiation and old light the universe can be given an age. I am a personal believer that the Universe is infinite and has always existed and that the reason that many people cannot see this is because it is impossible to imagine infinity. I know that there are many articles out there that say that there is no such thing as infinity, but why? Why is it that we think we must put an age, a label, some theorem on everything? If for centuries people could believe that God is there and has always been, then why not apply that to the Universe? And if the Big Bang theory is true, then what is past the extending universe… nothing? But if infinity can’t exist then nothing can’t exist… something else to talk about in another forum: What is Nothing? Anyway, I know that there is no definite answer out there but I just want to spur some ideas… Peace *NIXALOT*
