One of the questions from https://jacyanthis.com/big-questions.

Resolves according to my judgement of whether the criteria have been met, taking into account clarifications from @JacyAnthis, who made those predictions. (The goal is that they'd feel comfortable betting to their credance in this market, so I want the resolution criteria to match their intention.)

Clarification:

Under the many-worlds interpretation, this refers to our specific history of the universal wavefunction.

I would be willing to bet against us having a definitive answer to this question on almost arbitrary timeline.

I assume this resolves Yes if the universe is spatially infinite, which certainly appears to be the case.

predictedNO

@Dach Oops, resolves No*

predictedYES

@Dach as long as the space contains non-infinitesimal matter and energy, sure. https://theconversation.com/is-space-infinite-we-asked-5-experts-165742

bought Ṁ1 NO

Does it appear to be the case? That seems wildly overconfident. The truth is we don’t know what the large scale curvature of space is, so why would you think there is strong evidence one way or the other?

This is wrong. Lesage theory is correct. Universe shows heating and ether.
