[QUOTE=RobbL;37890486]The only 'object' that could have an infinite number of ways to arrange it's particles would be an object of infinite size.[/quote] Not true at all. Consider two particles 1.1 nm apart. Then we can put them 1.01 nm apart, or 1.001 nm apart, or 1.0001 nm apart etc. That's an infinite number of ways to arrange just 2 particles with a difference of just .1 nm of space. [QUOTE=RobbL;37890486]Still don't get that, why would a grain of sand made of a certain number of particles only be able to form once?[/QUOTE] I'm not saying that's the only way it can happen, just that it's one way it can happen. We can imagine an infinite beach where that's the case, and it doesn't violate any laws. Therefore, there is a chance that if we roll the dice and create a random beach, that's the one we create. Therefore, not every beach must have every grain of sand repeat itself infinitely with 100% certainty.

[QUOTE=TheStateTrooper;37891320][b]NIGGA WHY SPACE SO INTRESTIN?????[/b][/QUOTE] Because dey be all dat shit we ain't know 'bout. Niqqa.
Like I said: everything is unique. No two protons are alike anywhere in the universe. Chances are there's a planet out there that's similar to mars; but it can never be EXACTLY the same. In fact mars is never exactly the same at different points in time because, well, everything is constantly in motion, so nothing is ever exactly the same at every point in time.
A universe exists where one can lick his/her own elbow.

[/QUOTE] Actually yeah I see what you mean, but an infinite set of particle pairs would in theory contain an infinite amount of particles separated by less than a planck length to huge negative powers, but size and distance become irrelevant way before arriving at such a small scale. Many people agree there's a minimum limit to physical scale, meaning there is a finite number of ways to arrange particles (everything i've ever read does say there's a finite number of ways to arrange particles, and i've never really found anything explicitly stating that's wrong) Doesn't infinity fill itself anyway? If you give something an infinite number of possible ways to arrange itself and then give it an infinite number of opportunities to arrange itself, then wouldn't the infinite possibilities be fulfilled?

[/QUOTE] We'd be rolling the dice to create sand within the beach though really, infinite beaches of infinite laws is more to do with the multiverse theory which I don't really want to get into Oh yeah, and sorry if I seemed a bit of a dick yesterday... I was in a bad mood and it was way past my bedtime anyway.
