Is the universe finite or infinite?

If the universe is now finite and its influence is growing and traveling at whatever rate it travels, it can never reach that which can never be reached (the definition of infinity).

If the universe is now finite and its influence is quantum-like and not further divisible, then its influence—that which defines space and existence itself—will end. There is no beyond of exixtence. Non-existence, by definition, can’t exist.

Either way, it is not infinite.

Is the universe already infinite? Again, can’t get there.

Just an opinion.
