> Sorry to be the one to break this to you but you live in a finite universe

i don't think cosmologists make that claim in such a strong way. its mainly worded something along the lines of, "given our current understanding, its most likely to be finite"

"You live in a finite universe" is not the same as "the universe is finite". You live in a light cone, and unless you are immortal that light cone comprises a finite amount of space-time.

it is if the word 'universe' designates the same thing. otherwise what you want to say is "your experience of the universe is finite"

OK, whatever. The point is you cannot possibly access unlimited parallelism.
