Does Space exist? Is Universe infinite?
Consider this proposition of “Existence Potential”.
Matter exists. Space is absence of matter. So does Space exist?
Then, why do we feel as if Space exists?
Is it the ‘Existence Potential’ that appears to be Space (Conventional Space)?
Can we propose therefore that a 2-unit matter-particle may be deemed to be surrounded by a sphere of its ‘existence potential’ of, say, 4-unit radius that is its ‘conventional space’.
Matter is inclusive of its ‘existence potential’ or ‘conventional space’. Intra-atomic space, intra-molecular space, inter-molecular space etc are all examples of used-up/ erstwhile ‘existence potentials’/ ‘conventional spaces’.
Now does it seem plausible that inter-planetary and inter-stellar spaces too are used-up/ erstwhile ‘existence potentials’?
As a corollary, is it not clear that present Conventional Space can stretch at the most till it becomes a spherical cover around the present Universe and not beyond?
So, is Universe infinite? Does Space exist?
(Discussions may be detailed and decisive.)
AP! The point which is to be thought out is around definition of space. Existence Potential has the dimensions - according to the proposition. Space by its definition is non-existent - meaning, has not dimensions. Isn't it?
