Letter: Growth spurt

Published 8 May 2004

From Graham Coupe

Although specialists in the field accept that the universe started off at some point in the past in a big bang followed by a finite expanding volume, they are at the same time debating whether the universe is now infinite or not (17 April, p 12).

Surely, once finite, always finite. I am not aware of any scientific mechanism that allows something to make that transition.
