He meant infinite universe space wise, not time.

I don't think the universe is infinite.  I just don't know what happens when you hit the edge.

The universe is like Pacman. When you reach the other end you go to the other side.

I don't know. I mean, it's just hard to fathom something being infinite. What would happen at the end? I mean, that Pac-Man thing is sorta hard to believe. I feel that it's infinite.

So are you saying that there is no limit to what exists? Like, the universe just keeps on going, and going, and even if you lived for all of time, you would never reach one side to the other?

Again, it's extremley hard to fathom never reaching an end, as well as it is to think what's at the end, that makes it end.

I think the Universe keeps getting bigger and bigger every day.  china;

So yes, I do believe in an infinite universe.

Hard to say but I believe the universe is huge, wouldn't be surprised if they turn out to be microscopic to other life forms  psyduck; Although, that would make life into a bad sci-fi movie.

Actually now that I think about it that Pac-Man thing makes a little sense. It's like the world, you travel in one direction for a while and eventually you'll be back where you were before.

Everyone has a hard time thinking about infinity  psyduck;

I think thats one of the most comprehensible  idea of "infinity"

But that's because you've gone in a complete rotation, like going around a circle. You didn't just reach one end then pop to another.

But then that would lead to the "Maybe you'd rotate around the universe" thing. But it would take 5 seconds of thinking about that to realise how flimsy and stupid that sounds....
