A simulated world in a computer program has no boundaries either. Perhaps its a simulation, and God is one hell of a programmer.
“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Nothing is infinite.. everything must have a beginning and an end.
Once you reach the edge of this universe there will be others floating amongst the void of space.

The last thing I read or heard (?) it is supposed that the universe we live in is not infinite... The bubble of this universe stretches 92 trillion light years
and is growing. We can only observer a fraction of the universe. 92 trillion might as well be infinite ?
Found something that will back me up.. Start at 5.00 of the video and it will explain how they derived that figure with the help of the Hubble telescope. youtu.be...

Aren't black holes supposed to have infinite time dilation? Does Stephen Hawkins still think the big bang is a cyclical event? Do you believe space/time is textured? If not, every unit of measure we have is infinite (as illustrated by Zeno's paradoxes).

The decay time for a supermassive black hole of roughly 1 galaxy-mass (10^11 solar masses) due to Hawking radiation is about 10^100 years.
