No the universe is not infinate, read up on Obler's paradox. If the universe is infinate the the sky would be infinatly bright.
I think you misunderstand Olbers' paradox somewhat. The true explanation does not show that the Universe is finite. The explanation of the paradox to gain the most scientific consensus points to the finite speed at which light travels through space. Given its finite speed, the light from the most distant star cannot have travelled a further distance, measured in light years, than the star itself is old. That explanation holds true to the Big Bang Theory and the fact that the Universe has only existed for a finite time, it does not, however, prove that the Universe is finite it merely fits with that possibility.
Another explanation for Olbers' paradox is that stars are not uniformly distributed but, rather, fractally like Cantor dust. This second reasoning does not require the Big Bang to hold true.
By the by it is Olbers' paradox not "Obler's" so those who googled Obler and got weird results, that's why.
I guess that means im going to get bad physics results
I think its wierd how people can just dismiss the theory of evolution just becuase of there faith.
