the number of things that don't exist is vastly greater than the number of things that do. Therefore, statistically speaking, you don't exist. Any evidence to the contrary is just the product of your diseased, nonexistent, imagination.
"It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and any people you may meet from t
Not necessarily. You seem to be suffering from the infinity fallacy, "an infinite set necessarily contains all humanly conceivable elements." This is trivially incorrect: Consider the set of all integers. No matter how long you look, you will never find "1.5". It's not in there.
An infinite set does not necessarily contain all humanly conceivable elements. It is certainly possible that despite an infinite number of worlds, this is the only one inhabited by intelligent life. We can say with confidence then t
1) If there are an infinite number of worlds, then out of the possibilites there is a world that has the power to destroy all worlds already. 2) This world is still here. 3) Therefore, there are NOT an infinite number of worlds.
Corollary:
1) If there are an infinite number of worlds, there is a world where someone doesn't want you to ever exist. 2) You exist. 3) Therefore, there are NOT an infinite number of worlds.
No, I have no such proof. In fact, I suggest that I have proof (via logic itself) of the opposite: that such a "destroy-all" power cannot exist if there are infinite possibilities of universes.
Although on second thought, I'm confusing the issue of infinite quantity versus infinite possibilities. My argument does make the point that there are constraints on how different worlds can be (i.e. there can't be a world that has the power to destory all others), but even if "we" all play by the same laws of physic

If there are an infinite number of worlds, then there will (by the nature of infinity) be an infinite number of inhabited ones as well.
Sorry.
