    I have yet to see any credible argument for the Universe being anything other than infinite.

    But we humans have difficulty getting our minds around the concept of the 'infinite', so the discussion of 'how big' continues.

    True, and that video proclaimed it pictures only what is currently known or theorized. But that study where they figured that possible size that could be comprehended is 250 times bigger than observable universe is. 93 BILLION light years times 250! Not to mention the theory of flat universe vs. open universe vs. spherical universe. It's no wonder that concept of infinity is hard to understand if mere theory of size of universe goes into numbers that are hard to understand.

    The keyword is 'observable' as in observable by us. So of course our numbers will change constantly, according to our abilities at the time.

    The Universe just is, just as it always has been and will be.

    This artisan vodka, made with grain and water from the Chernobyl exclusion zone, was the first consumer product to come from the abandoned area around the damaged nuclear power plant. The team started the vodka project by growing crops on a farm in the zone.
