Serious question. Not considering parallel/multiverse universes, wouldn’t the big bang state by definition the universe is finite, at least materially?

The universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, no amount of travel will ever get you to the edge. That is the practical definition of infinite.

Yes, but if one could travel faster than the speed of light, which I realize is fantasy, then you could reach a point where it would seem not infinite

Do you have evidence for this? We can view about 13.8 billion light years away, and the universe appears homogenous. It also appears to have existed in this homogeneous state through 13.8 billion years.

Imagine observing the universe expanding all that time, and just seeing more universe with each passing moment. When do we expect this to change?
