Is the Universe finite or infinite?

I want to say infinite (i.e. eternal); that makes us humans shards of eternity, capable of experiencing joy during life.
What about you?

Alright, so before we answer the question, we should understand it and analyze it thoroughly.
1-What is time
2-Is there anything such as "finite" if we consider everything that is real and conceivable to be one big thing?

Time is a human measuring unit, it isn't it's own thing rather a dimension that can only be functional and meaningful in the presence of other dimensions.
Secondly, if we consider point 2 then, by that logic if the universe is a part of bigger thing and at the same time finite then the 'pre-universe' is to be considered a state of existence that is eternal, hence there is no such thing as finititness. Of course then we can change the definition of finite and infinite and each of us would misunderstand the other but from a transcendental linguistic point of view we are not disagreeing at core.

Which part of it?

The "Universe" is by definition infinite. Infinity is a quality irreducible to quantity, which is a mistake almost everyone makes.

If you believe our own "universe" is actually a bubble of existence in a quantum void, you're not contradicting anything concerning infinite being, you're merely misusing the term universe.
