DarkenRahl:
It is known that 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 inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity 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.
- Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Haha, the only book series I have ever read that literally made me laugh out loud while I read it.
But, lets face it: Douglas Adams is an idiot and his character's math was simply incorrect.
Assuming that there is an infinite amount of worlds in an infinite amount of space (which itself is debatable), there is a percentage that is inhabited. Any percentage of infinity is infinity also.
If there is an infinite amount of inhabited worlds with an infinite number of inhabitants, it seems likely that somewhere out there is an exact copy of Douglas Adams himself, and I suspect if he ever encountered his other self (or any of the infinite amount of other selves that likely exist in this scenario), he is likely to argue with himself about all of this anyway. As stated earlier, Douglas Adams, as silly and funny as he is, happens to be an idiot.
