Resolved yes if there is essentially a consensus among physicists that the universe is infinite, and no if there is essentially a consensus that it is finite. Does not refer to universes outside of our own, but does refer to the space outside of the observable universe.
Will resolve as soon as this consensus is reached, which might be well before the closing date. Resolves N/A if there is no consensus reached by 3000-02-05.
This question is managed and resolved by Manifold.

@ProjectVictory if we find that the universe has negative spatial curvature on large scales, does that not imply it's infinite?
