Sorry, but according to the narrative, everything was wrapped up by the sixth day.

No matter how much energy it takes, it will deteriorate over time, regardless. You sit an orange out for an extended period of time, and it will start to degrade as time goes on. There is no "stuff" from the outside that can keep it from degrading. Same thing with the human body, look at the age process of a human, starts off fresh, and over time, the body gets old..it is deteriorating..it is degrading. The universe...it is getting old..it is losing its energy...the entropy is getting high...and soon all energy will be lost.

Right, everyone on here is so smart, and I am so dumb

Our minds work in linear time, even coming up with the vocabulary for other states of time is hard, but that doesn't mean that there's only two possibilities. If you don't know, and you don't have sufficient evidence, you are not justified in ruling out the possibility that the unknown unknowns involved in the scenario don't behave in ways you've never even considered.
That's why the smart answer right now is "we don't know," and the incorrect answer is "the universe had a beginning."
The infinity problem is independent of whatever universe you want to posit.
