> This has nothing to do with infinity. This is solely due to the definition of a universe. > A finite universe doesn't import anything as well, and this is no contradiction whatsoever. It's not far-fetched that a satirical sci-fi series could have multiple universes with travel between them. The Hitchiker's Guide actually both does and doesn't if you look at the "Whole Sort of General Mish Mash" joke. Though the WSOGMM joke is pretty explicit that it's one infinite mish-mash with infinite perspectives and universes are just an illusion. > Also, an inifinitely large "part" can still import and export, despite being infinite. For example, take an infinite universe and split it into two halfs. Those "parts" import and export, despite being infinite. He actually covers this in the quote on WSOGMM. > The reason they are not universes is that any given universe is not actually a thing as such, but is just a way of looking at what is generally known as the WSOGMM, or Whole Sort of General Mish Mash. The Whole Sort of General Mish Mash doesn't actually exist either, but it is just the sum total of all the different ways there would be of looking at it if it did. > The reason they are not parallel is the same reason that the sea is not parallel. It doesn't mean anything. You can slice the Whole Sort of General Mish Mash any way you like and you will generally come up with something that someone will call home. Please feel free to blither now. You can split the universe anyway you like, it doesn't make 2 universes, just a divide in the universe. Your 2 divides are exporting/importing but the universe as a sum is not. Of course, we're just arguing over a joke in a fictional universe now. But if you're going to do that you should get the fictional physics right :P
