There is no way of confirming any theory of the size of the universe, but then the idea of a limit is very human in itself...

All input is always welocome and for my part more welcome if a different view can be aired.
Interestingly I think along the lines you outlined.
Humans think they have it all worked out but that does not mean they must be right.
I find the monopolization of observations to suit the big bang theory morosophic... can there be no other explaination for the cosmic background radiation I wonder.
Now there are folk who will say that I ignore the facts as if I have not looked at them... well I look at observations without seeing them as fulfilling a prediction exclusively but also on the basis of what other prospects they may generate.
Keep thinking keep questioning keep your self happy and well
