Re: Is the universe infinite?

Ok, here is the definition of infinite I mean. I am located on earth, I leave earth and travel in any direction in the universe and I am traveling far faster than the universe is expanding. No matter how fast I travel or how far I would never reach an edge or boundary of the universe; I would keep traveling forever there would be no end to the universe, it would be infinite. I would however still be in space and there would still be time.
Now if the universe if finite and I make the same trip I would eventually reach the edge of the universe's expansion. If I keep traveling out past that boundary, what would I pass into? Or without the construct of space/time is there no way either physically or mathematically to predict what I would encounter?

Hypography?
