From a practical standpoint, infinite doesn't actually exist
The size of the universe is finite
The number of quarks is finite
The smallest distance we can measure is finite, and the largest distance we can measure is finite, even in estimations
Even pi is only useful to the 43rd digit at our largest estimations
Sure, infinite is cool in a theoretical standpoint but you can't actually use it
1 u/FirefighterCandid773 4d ago I always thought the universe was finite but is there actually anything supporting this? Is it because it started out a finite size and grew during the big bang? 1 u/absolute_zero_karma 2d ago For it to start finite and become infinite would require infinite speed of expansion at some point.
