You seem to be under the misapprehension that an infinite universe
implies multiples of interesting phenomena, like Brent Meeker. Just
because it's infinite doesn't mean everything or even every
/interesting/ thing occurs. That may just be wishful thinking.

*True, but it's also true that when we find a new fundamental physics
theory to replace one of our old ones it's going to be unintuitive and
very very odd because otherwise we would have already found it. Nobody
is ever going to be able to get rid of the weirdness that is inherent
in Quantum Mechanics. *
It's not as all hard to get rid of. All you have to do is work with
long enough and your intuition incorporates it.
*And it's an odd quirk of evolutionthat emotionally most
bipedalhominids are not frightened by infinity,unless they think about
it too deeply, but very large finite numbers areinstantly
and viscerallyscary.*
I'd have to see some survey results before I believed that. But if true
it's not hard to understand. "Infinity" is just a word and doesn't
bring to mind any image. It's just like those Republican Congressmen
who would be incensed if their mortgage debt were increased $10,000, but
are quite complacent in the face of increasing the national debt $3.5
trillion. A trillion dollars is just too big to comprehend.
