If it is, does that mean that "infinity" is bigger now than it was in the middle ages, or before that?

How do you expand upon infinity?

The Universe is expanding. Infinity means without end. The Universe is expanding into something that is infinite in size. Infinity does not get bigger.

Actually the universe is expanding and is considered finite not infinite. This means that there is strong evidence to believe there was a beginning to the universe. Other evidence that the universe is expanding is the large red shifts in the spectrum of other stars and galaxies. The red shifts mean an object is moving away from you. If they were blue shifted they would be moving towards you. Hope this helps!!

Yes the universe is expanding, because of the blue shift in the light spectrum. However, infinity is just that, an endless area that matter can expand into.

"infinity" is without end. the universe is expanding as far as we can tell. so there must be an end to the universe that is being pushed away from it's center. thus, the universe is "finite". infinity is the same size it ever was, our finite universe is bigger than it was before.

yes the universe is expanding,and recent evidence shows it will likely keep expanding forever.infinity has always been as big as it is now.

Yes, my high schools physics teacher did his Ph.D. thesis on the subject (sort of). It's full of pictures of the beginning of the universe (since the universe is a big place and "c" is only 300000 m/s
