I'm not sure what you mean by the "actual universe" but there's no proof that space is infinite. Unfathomably vast yes, but still finite.

- internet_user 6y agowhat's the proof it's finite?
- warent 6y agoOur senses are finite; we cannot directly know infinity through them. Because of that, I think the burden of proof is on the claim that it is infinite.
- mnjn 6y agoIsn't space itself continuously expanding?
- mathdev 6y agoExpansion of space doesn’t preclude the universe being infinite.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoby actual universe, I meant total universe ( opposed to the observable universe). All of the evidence we have collected so far suggests that the universe is flat and infinite. While some finite universes could be proven, so far we have not.
