Where is that thread about the huge star that was like 99999999x larger than our sun?
It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

Only if you assume an infinitely large universe in which they can exist. After all, you've also got to consider those between that and the sun's size, those approximately the same size as the sun, and all of those stars that are smaller than the sun. Then you've got to consider planets and planetoids, cometary material, and nebulae. Then you've got to take into account the amount of space that is, well, space. (Empty and without anything inside of it.) A finite universe has a limit to what it can hold; only an infinite universe would not.

Beyond the finite universe is most likely another finite universe.
May 'the Google' be with you!

Technically, Lasher, I think you're defining an infinite multiverse, but you have a point.

The large sign visible for five lightyears in each direction reading "You are now leaving universe NNN, next rest stop 530 gigaparsecs"?
[Yes, I know a physical distance wouldn't be used to measure space between universes in a multiverse.]
