Also, there was a mathematician quoted as saying the universe may be finite, but there were two astronomers quoted as saying they didn't find it convincing. So it seems at least from this that there is still uncertainty on this issue.

I know there is uncertainty, which is why I used indicates rather than proves or says.

Of course that might be a distinction that only I use.
