We have no proof the Universe is finite. Every day we look deeper and deeper, and all we find is more and more. Our 'problem' with dark matter comes from the fact that the 'mass' we calculate for the Universe is based on the assumption that all we currently 'see' is all there is. Which, again, we prove every day is completely wrong.

Wow, where do I start. It is one of the basic ramifications of the Big Bang theory, (plus others.) From which we get Space-Time is finite.

Basing the concept of the Universe being finite (a theory) on the concept of the The Big Bang (another theory) is fairly presumptuous.

Even were the Universe to be finite, what makes you think we have actually found the outer bounds, and that we are even capable of knowing it’s mass?
