You might want to read The Physical Universe by Professor Frank Shu:
Quote:Publications[edit]
Shu is the author of several books, among them Physical Universe: An Introduction to Astronomy (University Science Books, 1982) which has become one of the standard textbooks for undergraduate astrophysics courses all over the world, while the two volumes The Physics of Astrophysics Vol. I: Radiation (University Science Books, 1991) and The Physics of Astrophysics Vol. II: Gas Dynamics (University Science Books, 1992) are classical texts commonplace in astrophysics graduate curricula as well as recommended by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
I have read it several times, and in it, Professor Shu discusses a Universe that is infinite in spatial extent. But, here's another website for you:
Quote:There is no beyond
Another question is whether our universe is spatially finite or infinite. I think we can never know. It could be finite but of a size that is arbitrarily large. But to many people the idea of a finite universe immediately raises the question of what is beyond. There is no beyond – the universe is everything there is.

LOL. What happened to the other 3 points? Abandoning Morrison after just one post!! Your hatred of WLC leads you to believe that people have answers to his arguments and all you have to do is post a link and your done. It seems you don't even understand them.
Now you want me to follow you down a theoretical rabbit trail and redefine infinity so we can somehow go back and apply it to something else entirely to prop up your theory? You couldn't even quote mine something that would even suggest this is a productive mode of inquiry into the question of a past infinite number of cause/effects. No thanks!
