# there are some where there is no such thing as a parallel universe
meaning they exist individually.
Infinity really allows for absolutely everything no matter how improbable. - Douglas Adams taught me that ;)

there are some WHAT, or, another way: what are there some of?

# Are you arguing
for Universes inside Universes, like branches coming from the main trunk of a tree?

A Reverend and a Professor discussing parallel universes. Could end in a punch-up.

# I think 'infinite' is an easy cop-out
unprovable either way so it keeps the scientists 'on the gravy train for life'.

# yes
like religion. "Oh he just created this and that"

# Hmmm,
that argument could collapse in on itself, creating a singularity and a way into a parallel universe.

So, QED. I think...

# it's not really a chevron is it.

# when it was first made the server didn't have a time out thing for it
so it would keep going on and on and on heading out into the infinite wastes of the browser. Technically it is a fully filled solid chevron because every reply has an infinite number of replies but because the top layer of the chevron never finishes it can't start on the next.
Actually that would make it a rhombus.

# An infinate number?
I would like to know where this rock-solid-intel actually comes from, as I suspect small children. With the might of my physics A-level (D) I proclaim that this is utter gobshite, and all scientists should be burnt.
