It's fun to think about though. If the (meta) universe were infinitely old then why hasn't it all diffused into background noise? Maybe once in a bazillion years there's an improbable quantum fluctuation - a big bang. It's interesting to think that we and the entire universe we know of exists in a tiny blip in between almost unimaginable spans of nothingness.
