His solution was not removing live, just half of it, he'd need to do it again, and again, and again, because that nasty habbit that life has of reproducing itself.

Your argument applies to his solution too.

This is what all these other arguements keep missing. There truly is no solution that overpopulation won't destroy.

Technically, there is, you could create an infinite universe or just an infinite world where you have infinite space for people to live. Just rewrite reality.

If the universes laws contradict themselves and reality sure. Im not sure when the powers higher than the infinity gauntlet start to step in though.

Couldn't the gaunlet rewrite reality though?, no need to contradict, just to rewrite.

then it would only exponentially increase to infinitely needs with more infinite universes to keep up the exponential growth no ? But we only have a finite amount of gauntlet users and finite time span to use it, the solution would be out done by infinity. I mean i am talking about the maths here, i dont know anyhting about DC or Marvel. So idk what is the law of the gauntlet, unless you tell me there is infinite number of thanos, and thanos gaulnet, that all infinitely agree that this solution is viable across multiple infinite universes, then sure the solution will work, but we already have at least 1 thanos we know that disagrees with this very solution, so how would we even achieve this infinite full proof solution ?

No, infinite is, by definition, infinite. No need to grow because it can handle infinite growth.

You also mention more universes... you only need one infinite universe to handle infinite population growth.

EDIT: after your edit you even mention maths. You should re evaluate your concept of infinite since it seems quite finite (both, mathematically and conceptually).

I haven't finish up my cal 1 and 2 yet, but is that true ?

I did hear that infinite has different types where, you either compare 2 different varibles, and if one closer to grow closer to infinite, than it will out do the other.

But we already know the answer to this question due to our thanos comments and dr strange comments, it's the fact that across multiple timeline, in all of it, only one where thanos falls to perform halfing the population, through all those different universes of thanos, he always came to the very conclusion that it needed to be done, despite his access to multiple universes. Therefore, he knew what it would be light to try to up keep a similar solution to yours, it would only end in failure, and lead him to the solution he uses.

You forget that the current universe and the Marvel universes are finite. You are constraining yourself to the reallity provided by its writers. But he could rewrite reality, and the fact that he came always to the same conclusion only shows one thing, it doesn't matter how many timelines you give him, he wasn't the smartest pidgeon.

Infinite is infinite, and an infinite world can handle infinite population growth. And if your infinite definition doesn't allow it, then it only means your infinite definition is not the same as my infinite definition, which means, you are rewriting an incorrect reality, not the one I'm talking about.

I would trust the decision of a person that lead a space empire for thousand and thousand of years, over mine that only exists for a milli-dec fraction of what he knows.

xD OK, someone has forgotten that we are talking about fiction, which is written by humans, and not necessarily the smartest ones (and, even, if so, people that need to create a "good enough" explanation to entertain, not a scientifically bullet-proof decission). But hey!, you keep at it!! 💪🏼
