The universe is finite

... where did you get that from?

 

 

Nothing can be infinite.

The reason is simple, say the universe (or anything for that matter) is infinite, but then it expands by whatever margin, then it would be suddenly bigger than infinite. So therefor all things are finite. It seems to us like it's infinite because it's to big for us to comprehend. Of course it can grow, which just means it's bigger than it was (obviously :)), but still it's finite.

... that's not how math works.

 

2 things:

 

- There are, in fact, different , much bigger infinites (this is irrelevant in this case, though)

- "expansion" simply means that any 2 elements have, at limit, a greater distance between each other. This is fully possible, while staying within the same infinite subset of any metric.
