RE: Why the universe is most likely not infinite – Part 5: Popular argument against infinity
No, yes, perhaps it could be relevant in some subjects, due to the fact that the assumption of infinity has repercussions in other areas, such as the nature of the universe in which we live. There are things that don't seem practical at all, but then end up changing the way we see the world, and thus, changing us.
There are things that don't seem relevant, but then help us a lot in indirect ways.
Can you think of a relevant theme?
That depends on what you consider relevant. Maybe you can help me here and think of one.
Cheers!

"The nature of the universe", what do you mean by that?
If you mean that we as earthlings assume that our part of the universe does not exist infinitely, then we have made a prediction about its finiteness. How would that help you personally, for example? How would that differ from your knowledge that your own life is finite, regardless of the nature of the universe?
I have no idea about that, hence my question. There's actually nothing I can think of.
