If you see the universe from a computer point of view, you can see that theoretically there's no limit in it's size.

Imagine the world sits within a computer system, consist of bits & bytes (just like atoms in real world), computer is running a "Universe" where we are located, we have no access to another universe, but at the same time the computer can also run another "universe" as another application as such we have 2 universe running at the same time but not related to each other. Then in 1 of the universe the computer can fast forward, pause, rewind the universe and people like us running inside the software will not realize it as we are just programs within another program. Also within 1 universe that's running it still continue to expand and getting more "add ons", the other universe may also be running on another totally different OS, which means all the rules of physic in where we are living in doesn't apply to that, concept may be the same.

And if the programming has bugs, 1 universe might trigger the computer hardware to malfunction & cause other universe to collapse all together. If the hardware has backup it might be able to revert back to previous state, if not then it's goodbye to these universe. And the best part is, we'll never know when it happens!

And by now you can guess who god is, yes it's the user sitting behind the computer & doing the programming & adding more hardware so that the universe can continue to grow.

Zoom out again will there be another god outside of that user's universe? In the end it becomes infinite.

The universe is bound by the Computer, but the computer is capable of upgrading itself & adding more programmes itself. Also there might be many computers running different universe, maybe 2 computers running same universe but come out with different outcomes. These computers might be running within another computer, resulting infinity.

I'm taking computer as a concept, it's not meant to make you think we are actually living in a computer system.

But there are other galaxies outside the boundaries of earth.

You can't argue with the right data & right formula you can basically predict anything.

A simple example would be Mr.A is hungry, very hungry and the only available food there is Rice & Noodle. Mr.A is allergic to Noodles but not rice. Mr.A is a normal person without mental problems. As such you can predict the probability of Mr.A choosing rice over noodle.
