Does the future exist? Is it only the future which will happen that exists, or do all possible futures exist?
Is the only past which exists the past to our present? Do all possible pasts, presents and futures exist?

Does the present exist? Is there a fixed present for everything in the universe? Is your present the same as my present? Is my present the past for some and the future for others?
Is the present just an illusion built into the way our conciseness interprets reality? Is there an absolute reality outside of our perception of it?

The Universe is infinte, and therfore full of infinite possibilities. Meaning that it is both possible and impossible for any eventuality.
Not sure if that stands for Yoda v's Superman though because Jedi knights rock....... FACT!

I was going by Einsteins (I think) theory that the unviverse is infinite, and also expanding by an infinite rate.
But then in saying that he admidts that the universe is growing larger and therefore how can it be infiinte to start with.

I'm well rusty on Einstein, but I thought that the special theory of relativity, and the absolute value of the speed of light (through a vacuum), pretty much states the opposite? |

I just did a quick googly, and although I may have been wrong about Einstein saying it. The possibility of the universe being infinite is a possibility, they just don't know really.
I remember well a discovery channel programme saying quite clearly that the universe is infinte, although that could gave been somebodys opinion.
Either way, the universe is pretty fucking big.

It's fucking huge. 300 billionish stars in our galaxy alone. Shows how insignificant we are.
