"Is the Infinite Universe a Perpetual Motion Machine?" is an article by Glenn Borchardt published on 5 August 2025 on The Scientific Worldview. His answer is no.
A reader had reasoned that if the universe is infinite in time and space while our own system runs down, there must be places where creation occurs, and asked where that process is described. Borchardt accepts the premise that ordinary matter forms from aether, points to the relevant chapters of Infinite Universe Theory and the second edition of The Scientific Worldview, and grounds the discussion in his Ninth Assumption of Science, relativism — that all things are in some respects similar to all others and in some respects different.
