Not necessarily. Space could be infinite and have nothing more than our known universe.

meaning an infinity of planets resulting in an infinity of peoples. There cannot be an infinite of peoples because there cannot be an infinity of spirits.

To avoid the flames, I'll keep it short: religion is not logic, and religion is not logical. Don't use spirits in logical reasoning, or the result will not be true.

Infinity is not a number.
It depends on how you define it. If you define it as just an arbitrarily large number, it is not a number. If you define it as larger than any real number, and not having any number greater than it, then infinity is a number.

It just never stop going but that is impossible.
Impossible in the real field. The definition of virtual is: that which would be real, if it existed.

Only numbers go to infinity
Of course, because infinity is a number. You can't say "only flowers are flowers" and use it as argument. Mathematics is a model for understanding the universe.
Quote:
but most numbers will never be used since they go to infinity meaning that trillions of trillions of trillions of number will not be used. Actually, what I just said is wrong. infinity doesn't represent a large number. An infinity of numbers will never be used. That's the actual statement. And time might be infinite too.
Yup, you were right this time. Matter is: time is not only infinite in the direction of the future, but also in the direction of the past.

Its sorta hard to explain though..
Indeed.

I didn't use any cosmo- or quantum-physics because I don't think those sciences are advanced enough, and also because they don't (yet) deal with other hypothetical or virtual realities. But they do provide you with a great deal of explanations, in case you're interested.
