Man has always thought in general that the Earth is the center.
Then we started looking beyond and thought that the Milkyway was the universe.
Now we know that as far as we can see 13.4 billion light years there are billions of galaxies.

I would stick with infinity and beyond.

There are discussions to and for.

A small Universe​

Jean-Luc Lehners, Jerome Quintin
Many cosmological models assume or imply that the total size of the universe is very large, perhaps even infinite. Here we argue instead that the universe might be comparatively small, in fact not much larger than the currently observed size. A concrete implementation of this idea is provided by the no-boundary proposal, in combination with a plateau-shaped inflationary potential. In this model, opposing effects of the weighting of the wave function and of the criterion of allowability of the geometries conspire to favour small universes. We point out that a small size of the universe also fits well with swampland conjectures, and we comment on the relation with the dark dimension scenario.

Yet another approach to infinity.

SU(∞) Quantum Gravity: Emergence of Gravity in an Infinitely Divisible Quantum Universe​

Houri Ziaeepour
SU(∞)-QGR is a foundationally quantum approach to gravity. It assumes that Hilbert spaces of the Universe as a whole and its subsystems represent the symmetry group SU(∞). The Universe is divided to infinite number of subsystems based on an arbitrary finite rank symmetry group G, which arises due to quantum fluctuations and clustering of states. After selection of two arbitrary subsystems as clock and reference observer, subsystems acquire a relative dynamics, and gravity emerges as a SU(∞) Yang-Mills quantum field theory, defined on the (3+1)-dimensional parameter space of the Hilbert spaces of subsystems. As a Yang-Mills model SU(∞)-QGR is renormalizable and despite prediction of a spin-1 field for gravity at quantum level, when QGR effects are not detectable, it is perceived similar to Einstein gravity. The aim of present work is to study the foundation of SU(∞)-QGR in more details and to fill the gaps in its construction and properties. In particular, we show that the global SU(∞) symmetry manifests itself through the entanglement of every subsystem with the rest of the Universe. Moreover, we demonstrate irrelevance of the geometry of parameter space and prove that up to an irrelevant constant it can be gauged out. Consequently, \sqgr~deviates from gauge-gravity duality models, because the perceived classical spacetime is neither quantized, nor considered to be non-commutative. In fact, using quantum uncertainty relations, we demonstrate that the classical spacetime and its perceived geometry present the average path of the ensemble of quantum states of subsystems in their parameter space. In this way SU(∞)-QGR explains both dimension and signature of the classical spacetime. We briefly discuss SU(∞)-QGR specific models for dark energy.
 
"A universe of constant fractal resetting to set!" Aka, the constant of "conservation of mass and energy." Spread the wealth over infinities, so to speak, never forgetting the "set" though. The life force cell of universe ('1' (unity)) that concentrates and builds its mass and energy up, divides into two or more . . . or infinity (infinities). Division / fission ('0' (null unity (the out-branching Tree))) will always have its equal but opposite portion to Unity / fusion, even if, when and where, it will rip it out of the guts of unity / fusion ('1' (unity (the enclosing monolithic of Utopia, er, universe))). Fundamental binary base2 (fbb2 '0' (null unity (infinite 0) and/or '1' (unity (finite 1) . . . and parity (+/-)) ....

The Deeper we go into space the more we find.
Does not matter, whatever direction we look.

How many superclusters exist. Years gone by
The Milky way was it.
Then the local group of galaxies over 200 galaxies.

Now supe clusters range into millions.
The Largest Cluster, Hercules-Corona Borealis Great wall. Spends over 10 billion light years.

The limit is man's ability to look further.

For now, infinity looks good.
