Just to go back a bit, I never said it was infinite in size - just infinite. Under the definition that it goes on forever.

You think the universe is infinite in size? Really? Yes, the universe is infinite. Similar with how a wedding ring is infinite, even though you can give it 3D dimensions. The fact you may repeat yourself doesn't stop it being infinite - ie going on forever. If you travel in one direction at any spe...

The universe isn't infinite, but it does have something like 10^22 stars in it. Yes it is. Just because it has a finite amount of mass/energy (which is called the observable universe) in it doesn't mean the 'volume' of the actual universe isn't infinite, regardless of the shape. The expansion of th...

You've clearly not seen my student house.

Possible? Yes, but unless they've got a hidden blue-whale size block of (quite handy) enriched uranium somewhere, they still ain't wiping anyone off any map.

It was a suspected drugs overdose. Police found class A, class B, and class 2C in his bedroom.

With their maximum possible ever load of 5 atom bombs (not even hydrogen) they're going to wipe the US off the map?

It's been reported on CNN that they're going to melt down his face and turn it into plastic toys so that children can play with him for a change.

Too soon?

Common enough for the context of this topic.

Just for reference - if a body is floating, displacement = mass of the body.

EDIT: although in more common usage, displacement = maximum fully laden weight (personnel, aircraft, fuel etc onboard), while mass = unladen weight.

Depends on the context, doesn't it? It's a title rather than a rank, so in addressing them as the 'ruler' of the starship (when asking for orders, giving reports etc), they would be captain, yet when addressing them 'personally' (such as an officer from another ship), they would be commander.
