>Is the universe infinite?
Anon forget all this yapping about finitism and what not. The truth is no one can see beyond the visibility limit of the visible universe, and we can only ponder and throw math ideas back and forth, but no one knows.
Also, because of "dark energy", which is whatever is making spacetime expand further, and faster the further it is away from us, it means that eventually, beyond a certain distance from us, spacetime might be already expanding faster than the speed of light, and so we will never be able to observe what is beyond that "limit" since no information regarding the matter there, or radiation emitted from, will ever reach us
Therefore, we don't know if the universe is finite or infinite. That's the the answer.
