No as science shows our universe has an endpoint because the expansion ends up ending itself. However a new big bang is possible with a New Universe starting UP.

I don't know how to answer because I don't understand what that even means, for anything to be infinite

No physical thing can be infinite. It's like saying "my machine makes infinity widgets per day".

What is the weight of an infinite universe?
If there's an infinite universe, there's a galaxy out there with star troopers as soldiers. The head is Darth Vader. He once had an orgy in a kiddie pool of raspberry jam.

Rubbish.

No it isn't. That is an example of countable infinity. There are plenty of thing in physics involving uncountable infinity.

Please tell me one. A specific thing. A bunch of those things, with quantity infinity.

All right, an example off the top of my head:
When calculating the total energy density of the blackbody radiation field in a space, you integrate over all frequencies from 0 to infinity. Since frequencies are reals, that means uncountable infinity.

Also, correction, infinity isn't a quantity.
