The possibilities (which I first learned when I was 10 years old):

1. Finite and bounded
2. Finite and unbounded
3. Infinite and bounded
4. Infinite and unbounded

You’ve clearly got some reading to do, boy. Start with Gamow. Get back to me when you’ve worked your way up at least to the beginning of Guth.

Your insults are like water to a duck.

You CLAIM you can PROVE the Universe in FINITE, yet all you have DONE is list the Combination of probabilities, which are something just about any child can grasp.

BTW, by the time I was 7, I had built my own computer, and was helping my dad repair TV and Radio sets. I had to learn to read schematics (Sam's Photofacts, remember those?), and pull tubes out and test them in portable tube testers. (We had two different models). My dad bought a HOME TRAINING COURSE for ELECTRONICS from our neighbor. I studied it, took the tests (and passed) and built all the equipment that accompanied the course (including an oscilloscope).

Then my dad made me rebuild a POWERGLIDE transmission for our '57 Chevy. During all this, we built a cabin at a nearby lake, doing everything OURSELVES from digging the hole in the ground, pouring concrete and finishing it, to the walls, the wiring, the plumbing, and the roof. I loved to build 'models' and one of them was a model of the Cape Canaveral Launchpad. My father had subscriptions to Popular Mechanics and Popular Science and for years, I read EVERY ISSUE. I was in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, became an Eagle Scout, and had earned every merit badge available at the time. In school, I spent a lot of time in the Library, reading every science and science fiction book I could get my hands on.

Man, we kids used to be really well educated at an early age, didn't we?

SO... either you can back up your claim and prove the Universe is 'finite', or you cannot. Which is it?
