The Infinite Multiverse Theory (or there are probably an incalculable number of parallel universes where Everton have won every Premier League title)

multiverse, a hypothetical collection of potentially diverse observable universes, each of which would comprise everything that is experimentally accessible by a connected community of observers. The observable known universe, which is accessible to telescopes, is about 90 billion light-years across. However, this universe would constitute just a small or even infinitesimal subset of the multiverse. The multiverse idea has arisen in many versions, primarily in cosmology, quantum mechanics, and philosophy, and often asserts the actual physical existence of different potential configurations or histories of the known observable universe. There is a common consensus amongst scholars than while there is, theoretically at least, an infinite array of configurations that could be encountered should one be able to transverse across the multiverse, in none of them shall the English football club Everton be successful. This was prophesied in a urine soaked item of bed linen which is believed to have originated from outside the observable universe upon which the words 'Everton that' were scribed.
 
Boggles the mind

Although it seems that the jury is still out amongst scientists on whether the universe is infinite or not. The geometry of spacetime appears to be flat with current observation methods - in which case if you were to travel in a straight line, then you would continue on forever across the infinite universe, never again to return to the same point.

But perhaps the limitations of our measurement capabilities is misleading us. Humans for thousands of years stood on the earth and believed it was flat - It was just too big for our ancestors to discern the curved geometry of the earths surface. If the geometry of spacetime is curved then the universe isn't infinite, (just proper massive), which eliminates all of the crazy paradoxes associated with infinity.
There are still some (sub) humans who think that the earth is flat, regardless of what science tells them.
Also, if the universe isn't infinite, and you had the means to travel a across it, then what's at the end? Is there a wall like in The Truman Show? What is outside of the universe?

I'm going for a lie down now.
