I have a tangential question I have been wanted an explanation for:
If there are infinite universes, would there be infinite earth’s?
I remember (an) answer is infinite universes doesn’t necessarily mean infinite earth’s. A cool analogy of a CD rack was used when I read it, but I can’t find it. Does anyone else have an explanation and/or analogy for this?
With infinite universes, every possible eventuality is realized an infinite number of times. There are infinite universes without earth and infinite universes with it.
Well, if each universe itself is infinite, then there are infinite planets, meaning the number of planets that are not earth is infinite. So, if there are infinite universes that are, themselves, infinite, then the infinity of universes that do not contain earth is infinitely larger than the infinity of universes that do.

Are there more universes with earth or more without

Weirdly good timing, here’s a Kurzgesagt video on that exact question! Uploaded literally yesterday (or yester-er-day depending on time zones)
