“It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds,

WRONG.

simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in.

NOT ACCORDING TO MANY OF THE COSMOLOGICAL MODELS, QUITE LIKELY WRONG

However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds.

WRONG IF THE FIRST PREMISE IS TRUE

Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds,

IRRELEVANT

so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero,

WRONG

and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.”
