well, actually the universe is finite. there is a lot of evidence that
our universe is expanding (big bang and all) and thus it must be finite
(according to math).
you can think of it this way: say we all are 2D living on the surface of
a balloon that keeps expanding. in such a surface the geometry tells us
that although there is no edge/border to the surface  the area of it is
finite.
our universe behaves exactly the same, only the "surface" of it is 3D.
