It's the old rate times time = distance formula... r*t=d
If r & t are both finite, how can d be infinite? Or were you asking something else?

It is the density of the universe that allows us to determine if it's infinite or not, and it seems to be.
Thankyou, I understand now and the formula does give clarity to your explanation. I was not asking anything else; no ulterior motives.
