First we have to agree on the definition of infinite:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actual_infinity
So:
- Potentially infinite is the process of continued and potentially endless iteration (IE a limit).
- Actually Infinite is the result of an unbounded number of iterations; IE NOT DEFINED (IE an infinite set)
So at best the universe can be potentially infinite, but it is not Actually Infinite.
