I understand that recently a scientist predicted the size of the universe. Also that Albert Einstein had a similar theory that he threw out. However I always had this idea that the universe is ever expanding and infinite in a sense. That the farther out you get the greater the chance that light will be blocked by matter. I kind of just think of it as matter comes into the universe from a dimension that can not be seen or recognized by us mortals. It would probably be created in the largest voids between matter and destroyed in black holes. Never really bought he hole dark energy/dark matter theory. Although I suppose that I am just a non college educated dabbler.
