Are you saying you can get a definite solution from a set of differential equations without a boundary condition? AG The boundary condition for the universe is its present state and it's not finite. Brent How do you* know *that? ISTM, you're speculating and misrepresenting your speculation for knowledge. Data from the Planck spacecraft isn't conclusive. AG Read any text, or Vic's "Comprehensible Universe". It you're going to choose a boundary condition for the universe what would you pick besides the one state you know? Brent We don't KNOW that the universe is infinite in spatial extent! This is true regardless of what one chooses as its boundary condition.
