The universe is infinite and is expanding. At every moment of expansion it is still infinite.
The answer is simple: the area the universe is expanding into doesn't exist yet.

For example, there are an infinite number of irrational numbers between zero and one. There are more between zero and one hundred.
There seems to be an infinite number of irrational posters on LR.
How is the universe expanding if gravity is supposed to pull objects towards each other?
Why is the expanding of the universe increasing rapidly rather than decreasing due to gravitational pulls and thermodynamics?
Science is a farce

Funny post, or depressingly stupid person. Either way, good read!
infinity + 1 = infinity
Why are only big objects moving apart from each other. Why not stuff like my oatmeal or somthing like that?
well. it is expanding faster than the speed of light so even if you werestarted out at the edge of it you wouldnt be catch up and get outside. in a matter on seconds it will be further from you than the moon of even the closest planets. so humans it is infinite . also it may just be called infinite because it will never stop expanding
also id like to add that if it wasnt expanding i could not be infinite because then if you were to go on forever and ever you would eventually come to an end. however since it is expanding it has no end
Lolz at the discussion of infinite cardinalities on this page. Congrats to the people who actually understand what they're talking about and who are coherently explaining their greater acquaintance with higher-level mathematics.

I believe you are who Jack Nicholson was referring to in "Five Easy Pieces" when he used the term pompous celibate.
Some infinities arer larger than others. "Cardinalities" be damned

There are different sized infinities but this isn't an example. The set of irrationals in (0,1) is the same size as the set of irrationals in (0,100).
Both those sets are larger than the set of all integers. So you can't even "count" the irrationals in (0,1) or (0,100)--you run out of integers. The way we know the sets are the same size is by matching each element of one set with an element of the other set. The technical term for this is a bijective function (or simply a bijection).
In this particular case a bijection is f(x) = 100*x with inverse f^-1(x) = x/100. Thus the sets are the same size.
Well, we can match each irrational number between 0 and 1 in the first set (the full set) with the same irrational number between 0 and 1 in the second. This leaves all of the irrational numbers between 1 and 100 in the second set unmatched. The second set is clearly larger
it must be a democratic plot.
