Why not? The thing is that having a finite universe implies that it must in some way be bounded. And if there is some kind of a bound then that implies a separation. So if the universe is separate, what is it separate from?

I can't say that I really think you have a problem with infinity and nothing, but you seem to be trying very hard to figure out what they really mean. Personally I readily accept that I don't know, and will never really know. You are one of those people who really tries to figure out what things mean. That isn't a problem, in fact that type of thinking can lead to some profound insights.

C is the universal speed limit.
