73 problem is, thanks to the fact that the earth has an infinite amount of mass your other earth like world is probably already torn apart during its journey to earth and is now a piece of earth (if you can still call it that as an infinite amount of mass is from foxes + all the mass from the universe + a tiny bit from earth itself).

75 isn't infinity an awesome thing?
(oh btw, my space knowledge isn't the greatest and thus may have made some errors. Although I'm pretty sure I was in the right direction)

77 Two things to note:
- Gravity works at the speed of light. It can't go any faster because that would break causality. So, even the nearest stars would not notice the fox shenanigans here for a few years, and for the nearest galaxies, it would take centuries.
- The foxes would collapse into a black hole relatively quickly (after igniting nuclear fusion and turning Earth into a rather short-lived star), which would probably suck in and destroy whatever is producing the foxes before things could get far enough out of hand to affect anything outside out solar system.

77 Physics!

We talked about "active galactic nuclei" today... it turns out that even though there's a dozen different categories of active galaxies, they're all basically the same thing; the historical classifications are effectively based on which way they're pointing.

I'd more imagined it as suddenly out of nowhere an infinite amount of foxes appeared and another problem I have with your point is that if the source of foxes get destroyed means that there are no more foxes the amount of foxes wouldn't be really infinite would it?

79 If infinite foxes appeared simultaneously somewhere, they'd need infinite space, which would kinda break the universe instantly.Unless they were all in a line or something...

I'd figured that the foxes appeared at a constant rate, so their number would only be infinite in the limit as time goes to infinity. And yes, destroying the fox spawner would limit the number of foxes spawned, neatly solving the problem.

80 But if destroying the "spawner" prevents new foxes there would be a finite amount of foxes and thus not an infinite amount of them.

82 yes, but we where talking about an infinite amount of foxes and not a finite one :p

84 you where the one that started with "Lets turn this infinite amount of things to a finite amount of things" :p
