Alex K, you write about the universe being hypothetically finite (post 33). That suggests that it might be infinite. (Or course, it might not be. "Might" gives one quite a lot of wiggle room.)
What do you believe the universe is like, and why? I want a broad view of things, so you don't need to go into too much detail, but enough detail to get the general idea. But, of course, you should give as much detail as you wish to include.
And I would like to know which bits of the story are known, and which bits are better described as being your best guess.
I realize this is just a little question, just asking you to explain the universe to us.
