So you're self taught from reading books? A LOT more people should do that. I'm sick and tired of hearing about how, I can't afford to go to college, yet that same person never goes to the library or reads at all. And even I can fathom 13.8 billion years, so I am sure using probability that what we normally think of as the universe is nothing but a speck of sand to the reality. You brought up something I've thought about and that's the nature of mathematical limits. If the universe continues in existence to infinity, then you and I don't exist. If our lifespans are 100 years and the lifespan of the universe is x, then the limit of 100/x, the fraction of our lives to the life of the universe as x approaches infinity is mathematically equal to 0. That means our life fraction is really equal to zero and we don't exist. But we know we do exist, so seems to me that there is no way the universe can have a lifespan of infinity and has to end at some time.
