if the theory of universal homgenisation (that if you look at the universe on a large enough scale you start to see "symetry" or an equal pattern) is true then isnt this proof that life other than our own exists if not identical to our own?

The keyword here is "large enough scale".

but thats just the limit of the observable universe not all of it. thats why we look for the density not the mass, not that i mean that the universe is infinite beacuse we dont know all of its mass but because we dont know ALL of the universe. it may not be infinite but it IS bigger than what we will EVER observe because in order to see further we would need to be able to look futher. only problem is as we look further (as you will no doubt know CK) we look back in time and after a while we reach the limit of the begining of time. so saying that we cant look any further doesnt mean thats the edge of the universe

Problem with premise: We don't see light from infinite stars in all directions because it takes a finite time for light from distant stars to reach us.

Solution: Stars couldn't have existed before the universe was transparent, therefore the universe had a begining, therefore is not infinite nor static.

problem universe didnt come froma single point. it "exploded" everywhere at once. the big bang explanation is confusing in that for the laymen it seems like the universe came from a single point in space. but seein as space didnt exist before this (if you follow the theory that is) space came into being everywhere. this is why we still have a backgorund radiation cos it keeps coming from outside our known universe. the only way to tell currently whether there is a limit is to wait until the end of time and see if the background radiation is there. (this is obviously ignoring something like the universe changing in some way to block the path of radiation or some thing)

i just put that thing at the end to stop u nit picking CK

For example: For every second that goes by an infinite number of infinitely small amounts of time has passed. Because we actually observe time to pass it can be assumed that the infinite number of them somehow takes priority over the infinite smallness of the elapsed periods.
