As I understand this, we are a three dimensional being/object in a universe which has definitely more than three dimension. By virtue of that, the three-dimensinal structures are the one we comprehend best. Even a two-dimensional thing is what we can imagine but the moment we try to give it a shape it becomes three dimensional e.g a sheet of paper is two dimesional only until we reach its border. The concept of finite and infinite as we know is only in relation to the three dimesional things . It may be totally irrelevant in respect of space-time which has certainly more than three dimensions. Dimensions determine shape. What are the shapes possible for something having more than three dimesion is a riddle for human mind and will perhaps be never solved.
kind regards
Gautam
