Oh, a second point...I find that most people don't seem to be able to understand that nothing means nothing and therefore does not have a value. Note that I did not say cannot have a value, but does not have a value. Doesn't have a place to put a value, either. Doesn't have anything, isn't anything, because it's nothing!

Actually, while I was having a little fun with it in my manner of speaking, but that is exactly the point I was trying to make. The universe can be finite and have a distinct border out there somewhere. That doesn't mean there is more space beyond the border as some here have said. It could mean there is simply, well nothing beyond it. But nothing outside the universe does not mean "more space" anymore then the space inside the universe is nothing. Space is not nothing, it's simply the absence of any matter. Nothing on the other hand, is nothing. It's the difference between zero and not having a number at all.
