RM> Well, day the logic I am using is that there are infinities inherent  
in the universe (time and space are infinitely divisible and so are  
numbers), so I fail to see how a finite universe could produce these  
infinities.  IMO, a finite universe should not have ANY infinities in it.   
But I do take your philosophy into consideration.  It is different, not  
my philosophy, but different and I appreciate that. 
 
Granted that the position makes some reasonable mount of sense, I 
still wonder if it really matters whether the universe is finite, 
given that it is so vast.  Fifteen billion lightyears is a lotta 
room, so much in fact, that I cannot tell the diff between it and 
a universe that actually *is* infinite. 
 
Inasmuch as we are running into integer quanta in the microcosm, I 
wonder if there is not some kind of integer quality to the macro. 
I really don't know.  IF this reality format is a holodeck, it can 
actually be finite so long as it appears infinite. 
 
When I took physics, it was said that two perfectly parallel light 
beams in space would never meet. But that was before the discovery 
of black holes, and if they go there, nobody knows what they do. I 
see as time goes on, the discoveries include more anomalies. hmmm.
