Question

if space is infinite does that mean there are an infinite number of stars?

Answer 1

It’s really hard to say, because both possibilities seem to be an impossible paradox. If space is infinite, then there is infinite stars. If space is not infinite, there is not infinite stars, but then what’s “outside” of the space?

All this to say, we don’t yet know for sure, but there’s plenty of theories.
