Doesn't Olbers' paradox just apply to a "static universe"? An infinite universe could still expand, so there'd be no such paradox. I think the steady-...
No start, in this case. But the argument is usually phrased as "cannot be completed", except it can, it just takes an infinity. Of course, if you pres...

, instead of "an actual world", I'd use "the actual world", but maybe that's just me? 1. X is a possible world ? X is not the actual world = X is a po...
