Post math/science "facts" that make you mad when you hear them. I'll start.

>The Universe is infinite, so an infinite number of different versions of me must exist

you just made that one up. No one ever said such a stupid thing.

The most enraging pseudo "factoid" is the claim that "complex numbers" were numbers and a reasonable basis for geometry.

Did your picrel chud divide by zero?

They can be, depending on your definition of "number" and "complex."
In my view, the following are numbers: naturals, integers, finite fields, rationals, complex rationals...
The following are not numbers: "reals" and any other uncomputable or uncountably infinite set.
(By the way, computer floats are a finite subset of rationals, they have nothing to do with "reals")

It turns out that linear algebra was everything we needed.

look up "Max Tegmark's four levels of multiverses", specifically level 1. it's in wikipedia.

I mean if reality is infinite and beyond our understanding why could that not be theoretically true? There could be an infinite amount of universe beyond our own for all we know.

It could be true, but some people say it's necessarily true - that if something is infinite, it must hold an infinite number of permutations of every possible thing. But then you can have infinite sequences like 1,2,1,1,1,1,1.... where there is only one 2 and no 3's. And, for example, if you had an infinite number of chairs you would need an infinitely spacious room to hold them, but that room wouldn't necessarily contain a table.

If our universe were actually infinite and its properties were consistent all the way around, then it’s pretty hard to argue that there are NOT infinite planets with water, infinite planets with water that have life, infinite planets with water and intelligent life etc. etc. and even infinite planets where you made this exact post. We don’t really understand infinity because we’ve never experienced it or interacted with it, so we can’t really talk about it

Not reading that shit. But the title already gives it away: The claim that multiverses existed accompanied by the argument that this must mean several versions of 'one self' existed is something entirely different than claiming the (1) universe being infinite would lead to the conclusion of there being infinite versions of one self.
So: No one ever said that shit. Before OP here.
