Fallacy: Appeal to Belief
We are in the realm of hypothesis and conjecture. My point is that you can't just outright prove that it's not infinite, and proving that it's finite does not actually preclude the concept of infinity. It could exist infinitely in time and only be the size of a teacup.
Furthermore, and slightly off topic, if the universe is not infinite, what happens when you reach the end of the universe (see: Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) |
V=HoD. This is the equation that measures the rate at which the universe is expanding. It is a measurable and observable fact. It is not just conjecture. And you could theoretically reach the end of it, it's whats beyond the universe that's the big question.
