Once again we run into the equivocal nature of infinity. Presumably we are dealing with a mathematical infinity, or that kind of pseudo infinity for which the surface of a sphere is often used as an illustration. This 2D surface grows as the radius of the higher dimensional sphere increases, so there is only the first part of the problem to deal with: the ex nihilo creation of matter. Solve that, and increasing energy will follow – E=mc^2.

If the infinity is mathematical, there is no problem with the increasing energy being greater than it, because, as Cantor showed, there is an infinite range of “sizes” of infinity.

There never was nothing.
