OT - Is the universe finite in size?

[Cyrien]

I have always found it funny that we as humans are constantly making these predictions that encompass everything despite the fact that we can't even manage to get off our own planet and visit the next closest planet. The best we have so far is visiting our own moon.

So we haven't left our planet we haven't explored our solar system we haven't checked out the galaxy, if you follow dark matter theory then the majority of everything out there we still know nothing about and yet we now know the size of the universe how old it is and when it was made?

Don't make me laugh.

Edit - Don't get me wrong. I am all for going out and exploring and finding new stuff and theorizing about it. But I don't think anyone should be taking this stuff about the UNIVERSE too seriously. Our knowledge base and point(s?) of observation are far too narrow and small to make anything even resembling an accurate guess.
