-- The data from the WMAP satellite that mapped the cosmic microwave background radiation seems to prove that the universe is infinite and constantly expanding. --

Not to disagree, or even to try to expound a sense of what the universe "is," the word "infinite" can be applied to mass as well as to length/distance. I don't think a measurement of the background microwave radiation allows one to conclude the mass of the universe is infinite.

Show me anyone with an infinite anything. Especially the yardstick they "measure" infinity with.

Just because the boundaries are beyond our ability to perceive doesn't make them infinite.

Speaking of perception, our perception of time is RULED like an iron fist by merely the earth's shadow. That is our ruler. A shadow.
