What if, like, *sniff* you had a Rubik's Cube whose sides were infinitely large? How would you solve it?
Whaaaaa, braaaa.

Ce n'est pas DuracellEnergizerThat's easy - get God to do it for me.
God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.

Ce n'est pas DuracellEnergizerCan infinity be reduced, though? Where would all the mass go? Shunt it off into some alternate universe? But that would violate the law of the conservation of matter and energy. And what if there is no multiverse and this is the only reality in existence?
Damn, this is giving me a philosophical headache.

Since a Rubik's cube is a figure with borders, you can't have a Rubik's cube with infinite sides. Even theories about the universe not being infinite usualy say that it has no "borders".
A way to trick the problem to get an answer would be to assume that you are yourself infinitely smaller than the Rubik's cube. So the object would be infinitely bigger than you (as it was stated in your question) BUT it will still be part of our world at its normal size. So the answer to your question is: no you can't solve the Rubik's cube but someone else can.

TV's Frink got me into the dark side of the force!If Rubik's cube infinitely large - possibility of living outside it = 0McFlabbergasty said:

Living inside = dependent variable
Else = Death
If living inside - Manipulating Rubik's Cube = Not applicable function user too small to accomplish task
Question then becomes how or why it would get into a state where it needs to be solved at all?
Natural out of production Rubik's Cube state is in solved format. Thus logic dictates no such creature would mix it up. Further should some supernatural creature, such as God, mix infinitely large Rubik's Cube. Logically they take on the task of solving the cube. Thus the problem is not ours to solve.

No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

If you are in a spaceship at one end of the Solar System and your friend Bob was in another spaceship at the other end, then if you both travel towards each other at a constant velocity of half the speed of light, will Bob's spaceship violate the principles of relativity (your own spaceship being your reference frame)?
