Because the function of art is to hold a mirror up to nature there can be no art because the Universe is infinite which means there simply isn't a mirror big enough. From this basic premise, it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination.

Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change.

Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. The Altarian Dollar has recently collapsed, (again) the Flainian Pobble Bead is only exchangeable for other Flainian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. Any finite number divided by infinity is as close to zero as makes no odds, therefore we can round the average population of the Universe to zero, and so the total population must be zero.Īlthough there are three major units, (The Altairian Dollar, the Flainian Pobble Bead and the Triganic Pu) none of them count.

But not all of them are populated therefore only a finite number are. Why? Well given that the volume of the universe is infinite there must be an infinite number of worlds. Simple mathematics tells us that the population of the Universe must be zero. Although you might see people from time to time, they are most likely products of your imagination. The creation, and continuation of, the Universe. This is a by-product of infinity it is impossible to import things into something that has infinite volume because by definition there is no outside to import things from. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here. Infinity is just so big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real 'wow, that's big', time. Infinity is a hard concept to grasp the Guide gives us this definition:īigger than the biggest thing ever and then some.
