Is the Universe finite or infinite?

I want to say infinite (i.e. eternal); that makes us humans shards of eternity, capable of experiencing joy during life.
What about you?

Alright, so before we answer the question, we should understand it and analyze it thoroughly.
1-What is time
2-Is there anything such as "finite" if we consider everything that is real and conceivable to be one big thing?

Time is a human measuring unit, it isn't it's own thing rather a dimension that can only be functional and meaningful in the presence of other dimensions.
Secondly, if we consider point 2 then, by that logic if the universe is a part of bigger thing and at the same time finite then the 'pre-universe' is to be considered a state of existence that is eternal, hence there is no such thing as finititness. Of course then we can change the definition of finite and infinite and each of us would misunderstand the other but from a transcendental linguistic point of view we are not disagreeing at core.

The "Universe" is by definition infinite. Infinity is a quality irreducible to quantity, which is a mistake almost everyone makes.

If you believe our own "universe" is actually a bubble of existence in a quantum void, you're not contradicting anything concerning infinite being, you're merely misusing the term universe.

Finite.

Even if space is perfectly flat, which would imply infinity, the observable universe will always be finite. Light cones and all that. Even if time is potentially infinite, at any point a finite amount of time will have passed. Also, it looks like everything decays and so the universe will have a functional end.

>eternity is high status, and shards of high status are still highish status, I need to be high status to feel joy, and therefore I can feel joy.

Hello monkey. Monkey want to dance? Sorry, I don't understand 'ooga ooga.' Just dance if you want to. You can leave my friends behind.
