Imagine Hubble&#x27;s deep field image again, but this time imagine you can see towards infinity (beyond the observable universe).  If the universe is infinitely big (and old), then there would be so many stars in the image that there would be an infinite amount of light in the image.<p>In this hypothetical universe, the Sun would actually be a dark spot in the sky -- because it would be blocking the infinite amount of light coming from an infinite amount of stars behind it.<p>That&#x27;s the paradox -- that we do not see that.  No matter how sensitive our eyes are, we would be able to see infinite light.  (Actually, our eyes would be melted...  and all current forms of life impossible...  but you get the picture.)
