"Proof the Universe is Infinite—A Non Sequitur" is an article by Glenn Borchardt published on 3 November 2025 on The Scientific Worldview.

Asked what irrefutable proof exists that the universe is infinite, Borchardt concedes there is none and argues the demand is misconceived. Infinity and finity are opposed fundamental assumptions, neither provable nor falsifiable, though if one is true the other is false. Complete proof is unobtainable precisely because the universe is infinite: no measurement can ever be repeated exactly, and we are always dealing with less than the whole.
