Thanks for your insights.
I guess the crux of my point is not to concentrate too much on whether we can calculate or compute our universe, although I have no problem hearing those thoughts, too. More, I would just like to know if anyone can think of anything that makes our universe infinite.
Also, to WillRavel: yes what lies beyond what we can see may go on forever, but I would not be too concerned with that until physics proves that things too far away to even send photons to us can participate in (and therefore be considered a part of) our earth-centric universe.
I think we can all forget about wrapping our minds around the issue if it is true, though. It's not like any computer could be made to store all the information involved in even a moment of the universe's life. The concept, I believe, is only important to thought exercises, like Albert Einstein used to play with.
