"It is known there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inahbited worlds. Any finite number divided by infnity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination."

But how do we know that there is infinite amount of space? Infinity can't really exist in this universe. To say something is infinite is to say that it has no end, which is true of very little. If you were two dimensional, a Möbius strip would have no end. But since we are three dimensional, we can imagine an end to a Möbius strip, and since we can imagine it, it is possible. Infinity is too great a thing to be imagined. There is nothing that is infinite, so we have no experience with it. We don't know if space is infinite or not, just like time. We can hypothesize, but since we can't actually count to infinite, we have no idea when something is infinite.
