This May Sound Crazy

We dont know if the universe in infinite in size

Until someone figures out a way to experimentally verify or refute it, it's just a bunch of mostly-useless (but quite elegant, I hear) speculation.

How is speculation ever useless?

It's intellectual stimulation, without which you would have no ideas about anything.

We dont know if the universe in infinite in size

And we can't, because there's really nothing to know that can be put into words, besides which we can never know that we know anything. Any definitive statement regarding "what is" is rooted in language, based on perception, interpreted with prejudice, and limited by our conceptual abilities.

I find it humourous that as humans we tend to think that we have this ability to "unravel" the "mysteries" of the "universe", and we tirelessly pursue this goal like a bunch of crazy primates who have forgotten that our minds are nothing more than the radar systems of our organisms; early warning / detection systems of sorts, and most definitely not omnipotent tools. Every time that we "answer" a question we are inevitably left with yet more questions, but we still don't seem to understand that god-like omniscience (objective) is laughably impossible from our subjective perspective.
