Instinctively I think that you both might agree to some extent with my instincts.
Until someone can prove that there is not a largest slice of time or a smallest slice of time or a largest slice of distance or a smallest slice of distance it would seem logical to deduce that is better than a 50% chance that both continue outwards and inwards for an infinite number of iterations.
But lets for a second ignore all the space outside our known universe and all the space inside what we call elementary particles and only concentrate on this infinitesimal little pocket of space time that we call our known universe and that which we can see within it.
My question is do either of you have a good estimate as to the number of known stars that are similar in size to our sun plus or minus 20% and similar in age to ours plus or minus 20%.
And secondly if Bode’s law is a derivative of the gravitational attraction that could make a pool of elementary particles merge together at certain distances from each other and thus form planets then would it not be an almost statistical impossibility for there not to be other planets in our known universe that are similar in size to ours at a similar distance from their sun as ours is.
