The Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius proposed the following thought experiment. if the universe has a boundary, we can throw a spear at (his boundary. If the spear flies through, then it is not a boundary. If the spear bounces back, there must something beyond this boundary that is itself in space, which means it is not a boundary at all. Either way, it turns out that the universe has no boundary.’
How best can the form of Lucretius’ argument for the infinity of space be described?
Lucretius shows that positing finite space leads to a contradiction.
Lucretius shows that finite space is inconsistent with physics.
Lucretius shows that finite space is inconsistent with mathematics.
Lucretius shows that finite space is inconceivable.
As the poes said if the universe has a boundary, we can throw a spear at (his boundary. If the spear flies through then it is not a boundary. If the spear bounces back, there must something beyond this boundary and that will create curiosity between the people of earth. Lucretius shows that positing finite space leads to a contradiction. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
