there is still far too little that we know, and far too much that we think we know.
i myself believe the universe is infinite.
by the first law of thermodynamics.
nobody is really giving the "universe speeding up" thing any credit either. to me, i think it proves that the universe is elliptical, which means that because of gravity, the universe is either

a) is a constant state of "Big Bang"
b) winding its way back to the strongest magnetic pull (imagine being slingshotted by the most powerful gravity in the universe. now, after long enough time, the traveling thing would start to lose the energy and before you know it be zipped at a higher speed along an elliptical trajectory back to the start)
basically to quantify for every possible angle before 180 degrees the only, imho, sensible picture is a donut shaped universe.
in either case i think we are going, eventually, behind where we started. so that means if we just sat still, i mean absolute stillness, in this one spot out in space while the planet continued to move along it's trajectory, there would be a literal infinite stream of stars, planets to greet us from the center of the universe just as we are moving past this point in space at this very moment.
