The rules are simple:

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

And that's why nothing in nature is infinite. Except human stupidity if you want to believe Einstein.
yet the universe is probably infinitely large, and expanding.
Isn't that still open for debate? I mean that's the half of the quote I omitted... The observable universe is finite. But kind of per definition. And time seems to be finite, too. Started 13.8 billion years ago. And if the other dimensions (space) are finite or infinite kind of depends on the shape of the universe, which we don't exactly know. As far as I know data from telescopes hints at the universe being flat. Which would point to space being infinite.
And I mean "infinite and expanding" is kind of inconsistent in itself, isn't it? It has to have some border that grows for it being able to expand. Or it's infinite... But then it can't really expand anywhere... I can't see how it can be both at the same time.
But I'm not an astronomer. I could be totally wrong.
Oh, I believe him. Self-evident.
Relative to me you're pretty smart though.
