   I have a distinct idea about infinity, which you most likely cannot   
   understand.   
      
   I personally think, that the universe has more dimensions than what we   
   think.   
      
   I think, that our perception of some sort of underlying reality is not   
   real, but a picture, which we receive from the past.   
      
   That picuture is also called 'past light cone'.   
      
   We 'cut' the 'real universe' into some sort of observations by being   
   somewhere and look at the world from there.   
      
   This creates a picture, which we can see in the nicht sky. And what we   
   see there is called 'universe', even if that ain't true, because it is   
   actually our own past light cone.   
      
   That 'real deal' is something that we can see, but only from our own   
   perspective.   
      
   The underlying reality seems to be a field, which behaves as if it would   
   be composed from complex quaternions.   
      
   That 'something' is what I call 'spacetime' (of GR).   
      
   Now I had written kind of book called 'Structured spacetime' about how I   
   think, that observetions could eventually emerge, that look exactly like   
   our universe:

   Now back to infinity:   
      
   This 'real universe' has no time per se, but time is local there only.   
      
   Any spot has its own time and that time 'flows' and builds a path, which   
   we could call 'worldpath' of that spot.   
      
   But we could divert from that path and create a new worldline, which   
   bends away from the old one.   
      
   Such worldline can curve (a little) and could eventually curve backwards.   
      
   Than we would reach a realm, where time flows into the opposite   
   direction (compared to the one we started with).   
      
   Now: from this would follow, that infinited distances could be traveled,   
   even if the universe is actually finite.
