...
The universe is infinite.

The rest of the proof doesn't matter if that basic axiom is not agreed on.

You are making a claim here that cannot be backed up with observable data.

Here are some comments on this issue from Astrophysicist Ethan Siegel who sums up the current scientific knowledge and scientific theories on this issue. The full article is at the link below.

Quote from: Ethan Siegel

From our best observations, we know that the Universe is an awful lot bigger than the part we can observe. Beyond what we can see, we strongly suspect that theres plenty more Universe out there just like ours, with the same laws of physics, the same types of physical, cosmic structures, and the same chances at complex life. There should also be a finite size and scale to the bubble in which inflation ended, and an exponentially huge number of such bubbles contained within the larger, inflating spacetime. But as inconceivably large as that entire Universe or Multiverse, if you prefer may be, it might not be infinite. In fact, unless inflation went on for a truly infinite amount of time, or the Universe was born infinitely large, the Universe ought to be finite in extent.

The biggest problem of all, though? Its that we dont have enough information to definitively answer the question. We only know how to access the information available inside our observable Universe: those 46 billion light years in all directions. The answer to the biggest of all questions, of whether the Universe is finite or infinite, might be encoded in the Universe itself, but we cant access enough of it to know. Until we either figure it out, or come up with a clever scheme to expand what we know physics is capable of, all well have are the possibilities.
