But infinity is the only way it can be.

I think rather we envision infinity because we don't see the end. I agree more with Colin, that we are clueless. To an ant on an anthill, the earth might seem infinite.
Also Ian, I agree that life on other systems might be completely different to the point where we might not recognize it as life at all, if we are even able to see it.
It's all definitely interesting stuff to keep the monkeys fascinated for a good long time.
