If the Universe must be eternal, if within it and as regards each of its component worlds, periods in which the movement is towards homogeneity, towards the degradation of energy, must alternate with other periods in which the movement is towards heterogeneity, then it is necessary that the Universe should be infinite, that there should be scope, always and in each world, for some action coming from without.
Baldin Unibertsoa betierekoa izango bada, hartan, haren mundu bakoitzarentzat, homogeneotasun-aldiek, energia endakatzekoek, eta heterogeneotasunezko beste aldi batzuek segitu behar badute, orduan beharrezkoa da infinitua izatea, eta beti eta mundu bakoitzean kanpotiko eraginik gertatu ahal izatea.
