Hi Roger,
I find it harder to believe in finite universes. Why the precise
number, whatever it is?

Hi,

About the Infinite Repetition of Histories in Space

This paper analyzes two different proposals, one by
Ellis and Brundrit, based on classical relativistic
cosmology, the other by Garriga and Vilenkin, based on
the DH interpretation of quantum mechanics, both of
which conclude that, in an infinite universe, planets
and living beings must be repeated an infinite number
of times. We point to some possible shortcomings in
the arguments of these authors. We conclude that the
idea of an infinite repetition of histories in space
cannot be considered strictly speaking a consequence
of current physics and cosmology. Such ideas should be
seen rather as examples of {\guillemotleft}ironic
science{\guillemotright} in the terminology of John
Horgan.
