The reason I ask is that the idea of 'infinity' makes my brain explode! I'd be happy to know the 4% deal is a 50/50 proposition.

Hi Steve.
Yea, infinite size doesn't really make sense, does it. I think present observation indicates that the universe is
at least 25 times the size of the observable universe (which is then at most 4% of the total). The universe may possibly be millions of times larger than our observable patch, but no one knows just how BIG and we may never know.
