If the distance between us and any galaxy is not infinite then clearly the universe is not infinite in size.
Err, not exactly. A universe being infinite in size doesn't preclude two things from being next to each other.

re: photon energy: true. The background actualy -cooling- probably precludes an infinite universe; it'd have to be either constant or increasing (unless all the non-visible stars are pulsing at the same time, but that is er, not likely).
