finite but unbounded
he'll yeah
infinite under communism, finite under capitalism
Finite but yuge
Well the universe is finite (and expanding) but what exists outside the bounds of our spatial dimensions are currently unknowable
Yep! The observable universe has an edge we're fairly confident about. Though while it is absolutely "expanding", unfortunately, space around it is also expanding, so the universe is getting bigger in size, but we don't think we're gaining any new mass or exciting celestial objects. Everything's just getting further away..
I wanna grab on the edge of the universe like a tablecloth and ride it into the (I must emphasize, deeply metaphorical) sunset
What's the edge of the universe like?
The universe is big, really big. Almost as big as the galaxy - Dan Quayle
I'll never tell! 😠
Nite
who care lmao nerd
Never mind the universe, what about the European Union? Is that infinite or finite?
It's infinite in its cringe dimension
Finite, we'll start killing eachother again as soon as decolonisation is complete
Except for GDPR and DMA
It’s as big as your mom
You still believe in that universe shit? Grow up
Infinite since it's a procedurally generated simulation
It is both and neither at the same time.
all I know is that as a non-native English speaker, it's infinitely weird to me that finite isn't pronounced like the -finite in infinite
English is Mandarin except with latin characters and global hegemony. Pronounciation is a fuck
infinity + 1
The universe is dialectical.
Finite. You can't have infinitely many things. Where would you put them?
Edit: Apologies to Steven Wright
Is a circle infinite or finite? How about a ball?
Infinite
finite 4d sphere, with extremely small curvature
Some infinites are smaller than others.
the universe is like my affinity for grillingThe universe is like in cartoons when they are chasing eachother in a hallway with many doors and they run in one door and come out of one on the opposite side.
I hope that answered your question.
That would be a "torus" 3D topography if I'm not mistaken
As far as it will ever concern humanity - infinite.
yes
The universe is an inflating balloon.
graps the barrel and pulls the gun to my forehead go ahead motherfucker, make my day
There might be some parts where it is finite but from where I live it looks infinite
Define Universe. Hubble Volume obviously finite. Current inflationary cosmos likely infinite in space but not in other dimensions. Entire substrate the cosmos comes from likely infinite along many more dimensions.

Agree with the first part of your comment but this last part... There's no experimental evidence whatsoever for other dimensions besides 1 time + 3 space so this is extremely speculative.
I mean, Time might be infinite, but it is bounded at least on one side and I suspect it's not bounded on the other.
In any case no one has evidence even for infinite space, for all we know it stops dead a Planck Length beyond the Hubble volume. Though this would require uh...extensive revision...of current models.
As for other dimensions, I'm using the term in the loosest possible sense to mean the substrate the current cosmos came from. It could have come ex Nihlo, of course, but it seems more likely it's part of a greater structure.
Infinite in the Y direction, but finite in the X direction
The universe has not yet decided.
It's just like your mom.
multiple inflationary events occuring outside the horizon of individual "universes"
so basically infinite sea foam of both ancient voids where protons barely exist anymore, mature universes with active star birth, and places with weird physics that fell apart quickly
over a long enough time frame, some of those ancient voids may light up again when some quantum tunneling event occurs
I don’t think it can be technically infinite, but you certainly cannot reach its edge as it constantly expands.
Just move faster than the rate of expansion
Humans should totally figure out how to go thousands of times light speed with space communism.
