Brace yourselves for gravitational waves

Here is an article from the experts.

My laypersons guess would not be either or, but both. I think off is finite, and on is finite, but going from one to the other could be infinite at the QM level. But sure, at this point we don't know.

That article doesn't talk about what you talk about. It talks about the implications of an infinite universe.

But my question is, don't we already know the universe to be finite because of the Big Bang? How could it possibly be infinite if it had a start?

I think you missed my point. Again, why cant it be both infinite and finite? You can literally draw a finite line on a piece of paper and have an infinite number of decimal places within that finite line.

AGAIN, although we don't know right now either way, my guess  OFF is not infinite and On is not infinite, but going from off to on back to off to on.......could be infinite. 

This isn't a problem once you consider Lawrence Krauss saying nothing is something. QM is freaky in that it doesn't say either way, but my point is why not an overlapping both? Off being temporary and on being temporary but going from off to on being infinite. That is what I mean by quantum twitch. The seeming nothing suddenly building to something leading to the observable on, which burns out and breaks down to "nothing" again.
