Talk:Sir Isaac Newton vs Bill Nye/@comment-65.0.113.246-20140812222253

Newton would have won easily had it stayed between him and Nye on the power of his lyrics alone. Then, Mr. Astrophysics Black Guy comes in and ruins what little cred Nye had left with his final line. See, the only way the universe can be infinite is if it was created. Explanation: There are three possibilities. 1) There was a Big Bang or some other form of natural beginning. If this is true, the universe is finite, because 1+1+1... and so on, continuous expansion from a single point, will never reach infinity. 2) The universe is infinitely old. Here the universe also must be finite, though for a different reason. If the universe is infinite in size and age, then there would be so much light from so many stars that the night sky would be completely lit. This was first thought up around Newton's time, IIRC. 3) Universe was created. This is the only possibility that allows an infinite universe. However, Nye was said earlier in the battle to "waste time debating creationists". Thus, paradox on the Nye/DeGrasse side. Making Newton's victory even more complete.
