Yes but there could be a universe with weird physics that could permit an ice-cube to be in the center of the sun, and not just briefly, but for a substantial amount of time.
- SideburnsOfDoom 8y ago> there could be a universe with weird physics that could permit an ice-cube to be in the center of the sun Could there be? This assumes that 1) different universes have different physics 2) there is at least 1 self-consistent rules of physics that allows this. I suspect that this is a harder problem. It's fair to say that if our universe has uniform physics, then even if it is infinite, there are no solar ice-cubes anywhere in it.
- octosphere 8y ago> This assumes that > 1) different universes have different physics Yes this is the presumption. Remember infinity allows all possible skewing of our current physics and all possible permutations of it.

- SideburnsOfDoom 8y ago> Remember infinity allows all possible skewing of our current physics and all possible permutations of it. No, it does not. Compare: > If there are infinite numbers, and all numbers have a name, then there must exist a number with a different kind of name to the usual ones. > If there are infinite universes, and all universes have laws of physics, then there must be universes with different laws of physics. It's the same basic fallacy. There might universes with different physics but it does not follow from infinity.
