Is the universe infinite?

Ok... I just got into a long discussion with a friend of mine as to whether or not the universe is infinite or finite.

I said it was sort of a mixture of both. Like a sphere inside itself. Or something you see off in the distance, but no matter how fast you run or travel, you'll never get to it.

His argument was that the universe was infinite... That it goes forever with no ends, etc.

Basically, my whole point was that it was neither, but shared properties of each (infinite and finite). His whole argument was that, "since you can never get to the end of it, that means it's infinite."

Anyways, any inputs would be appreciated!
