PPS everything is not infinite, not everything is possible and we know a lot of things for certain about the universe.
The more we discover about existence the more it seems like infinity exists. The concept appears everywhere in mathematics, it even exists physically in our universe (singularities), and we are finding out that the structure that is mathematics has no limit to its complexity, we will never ‘reach the end’ of what we can study.
Philosophically speaking infinity is growing as a concept, infinity is just that thing that people labelled God and gave a personality. Either nothing can exist or infinity can exist, for somewhere in between would be absurd because something outside of existence would have to define what will and will not exist. Some scientists and philosophers are even arguing that we are literally mathematics, the physical realm is just a pocket in that structure and everything we study maps perfectly to that structure.
We have a good understanding of our universe but we are starting to find out we are one of infinite universes with infinite variety, evidence is thin on the ground at the moment (but still there) but the current grand unified theories scientists are working on scream out that our universe is not alone
The idea that our universe is all that there is and ever has been is not only a minority opinion scientifically speaking but is philosophically absurd, existence is eternal and infinite, even if we can only ever experience a finite slice of it ourselves.
