If you believe the universe is expanding, I'm talking about the seeming nothingness we are expanding into. How much smaller can matter get? Can existence get? From sub atomic particles, to multiverses, we don't seem to be any closer to finding a definitive 'end point'. If we find an end point. What made the boundaries? Does there need to be a reason for the boundaries? But what if there isn't an end point? Existence just goes on for infinity say. It's either infinite (goes on forever/has infinite scale), or it's not (it has a finite scale/doesn't go on forever).

Instead of asking whether time is infinite ask whether you can step outside of time. You're not taking into account the existence of multiple dimensions. I don't remeber who invented this, but there's a theory that, basically states that inside every atom is for lack of better word "multiple universes". I also beleive the word "Universe" comes from religion particularily monotheistic faiths. So chances are the multi-verse theory is more closer to reality than the idea of a singular universe. Some say there's no such thing as a "universe" that it's just a mental construct created by religion in a simple attempt to explain reality
