How can the universe be infinite? But at the same time, how can it have an end? Infinity is impossible but if you think about it, the idea of infinity not existing is impossible too. What about the rest of the space? What would be in it?
For humans it is impossible to imagine either possibility. They are just mind blowing. Our human minds are too basic to understand such complex concepts. No one really understands them, and even if they did, at the moment of explaining it to others, the others wouldn't understand. So really there would be no use in understanding it.
Some questions, like this one, no one has the answer to. Why should we dwell so hard on something we have no hopes of discovering at least for a few hundred years? Sure it might be interesting and engaging but at the end of the day it just leads to frustration and confusion.
