And when others pointed out that the meaning has been changed over time and it actually has several meanings, you objected.
So because you say it, that makes it true? All that I ask is that you provide a dictionary definition, as I have
That's your schtick, not mine. You'll notice that I have been able to support all my arguments. You? Not so much.
Others already provided alternate definitions.
Only in a limited space.
So, you are treating space as infinite and changeless... when it is demonstrably anything but.
On Post #96 I provided a link to an outside source that support my claim that Universe means "all that exists". Which post # did you provide an outside source to support your claim that this is no longer the definition?
@Bungle_Bear 's claim is validated implicitly by the usage of universe, universes and multiverse in this paper.
That is one argument you supported. But since I didn't say you haven't supported any of your arguments it's not really countering my point. You have made many assertions and failed to back them up with any form of support.
I do not need to provide links where others have already provided them.
?????????????
If others have provided links that says "All that exist" is no longer the definition of Universe, I'm sure you would have provided it by now.
For goodness sake, there are several posts directed specifically at you offering alternate definitions and at least one post offering a link.
I think it was post #172, you did.
Your exact words were
I did not say it no longer has a valid definition of "all that exists". That is your misrepresentation of my post.
You have just supported my point while trying to pretend you have refuted it. If you cannot see how just say so. My suggestion to you is to stop digging, you're only making yourself look more and more foolish.
And your argument is flawed.
The shape of space time doesn't have to be flat. Think about about an element able to move freely in two dimensions but is on a surface of a sphere... no walls necessary, but limited space.
But that doesn't necessarily mean earlier definitions have fallen out of use.
Yes, and words can have more than one meaning all the time. But I don't understand why you are making a big to-do over a trivial issue. If your argument (whatever it turns out to be) requires a particular definition of "universe" then specify it and move forward.
What's the difference between
It appears that you are missing the option that both are possible. For example, "spin" means to revolve or twirl. It also denotes a property of fundamental particles which does not necessarily involve literal twirling. It can also mean using a spinning wheel, a definition which is no longer much used.
