Two extremal Beltrami differentials μ0 and μ1 with the following properties are constructed: μ0 and μ1 represent a same point P in the universal Teichmuller space, while the paths tμ0 and tμ1. 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, represent different geodesics joining the original point to the point P. This answers an open problem on the uniqueness of geodesics in infinite dimensional Teichmiiller spaces proposed by E P. Gardiner. Moreover, it is shown that one can get infinitely many geodesis joining two points in such a way.
