It is not static and unchanging because you constructed your "mental universe that way".

You side-stepped the question. It was your infinite pile, not mine. Challenging me to prove that it is not infinite is not telling me how you knew it was infinite in the first place. OK, you might say that you know it is infinite because that is the way you constructed it, but by the same token, I could say that beyond the visible horizon our universe is made of squishy bananas (Australian, of course), and justify that by saying that that was how I constructed my mental universe. How close would that come to real science, or even a useful thought experiment?

There never was nothing.
