The Immortal Mind

[Penguin]

There is an infinte number of worlds
There is a finite number of inhabited worlds

These statements are mutally exclusive, inhabited worlds are worlds, and therefore there must be an infinte number of them (if there is an infinite number of worlds).  You are confusing the idea of all worlds being inhabited, and some worlds being inhabited.

All worlds are inhabited except for the non-inhabited worlds which in total make up an infinite number of worlds under both realms.

[Penguin]

So you admit that there would be an infinite number of inhabited worlds if there were an infinite number of worlds.

Depending on where the expressway will be placed, the answer is uncertain right now

[Penguin]

That was a fun debate!

There is an infinite number of numbers.
ones are numbers therefore there is an infinite number of ones.   (its cold out side therefore its snowing)?   If there is an infinite number of ones you can never have any other numbers.  We have twos therefore there is not an infinite number of ones.
If you have an ifinite number of 1 and 2 you dont have an infinite number of either one?
I can picture a world with out inhabitants. Does all worlds include ones you can imagine.?         Interesting stuff.

Your logic is flawed.  One refers to a specific number, which is unique.  Inhabited worlds is a category, which implies that if there were an infinite number of worlds, there would also be an infinite number of inhabited worlds, but their number would be relative to that of the uninhabited worlds.

For example:

For every one inhabited world, there are three uninhabited ones:

if y is the number of inhabited worlds, and x is the number of uninhabited ones, then;

y=x/3

If x=300, then y=100

If x is infinity, then y is one-third infinity.  This can also be turned into a system of equations:

z is the total number of worlds

z=y+x
y=x/3
x=z/4

Why is x equal to z divided by four? Because if the universe is three parts uninhabited to one part inhabited, then it is made up of four parts, of which the inhabited part is one.

You are both ignoring that there can't be an infinite number of worlds because the  universe isn't infinite.

Matter cannot be created or destroyed so however much there is....that's all there is.

Its probably a really big number....but not infinite.

flawed equations, there is no such thing as 1/3 of infinity.
