I mean infinite in time, space, or both.
Since infinity is REALLY, REALLY BIG, wouldn't another being have to be born SOMEWHERE like enough in consciousness to oneself, to experience something essentially like reincarnation?
With or without a God -- I find religion irrelevant to this question.

True. In a truly infinite reality, repition is inevitable. But I don't think this counts as reincarnation, in the usual sense of the word. There wouldn't really be the thread of continuity between you and your "reincarnation" that the term implies. It would be more like a twin or clone.

Reincarnation (Not repetition; we don’t come as an exact same person many times; nor do people reincarnate as exact ourselves) or travel of spirit helps our souls to go through different scenarios and experiences to grow and learn some things. We change bodies, countries, genders, and so on, all to get “filtered” enough to return to our original source. If you fail to learn a certain lesson, then you will have to go to the same “grade” until you get it. Even in this lifetime, we keep repeating the same lessons and mistakes in different scenarios and find it hard to change or improve. For those who don’t believe in the existence of soul, know that even science now believes that there is more to us than physical body and that we all have a wave nature (getting close to the idea of soul) Now there are also therapists specializing in regressions, taking you through your past lifetimes to help you find the ways out of your current problems.
I don’t know if the universe is infinite, but I know that one should keep his mind open to the infinite possibilities, and reincarnation is one of them. It may not be proved or measured scientifically yet, but as one of the greatest scientists of all times (Albert Einstein) said: "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

Infinite eternal time. We live mere 80 years. Compare to infinity is not even a blink of the eyes. It just makes perfect sense that being ourselves of an eternal nature, we change our bodies every 80 years or so. That means we have reincarnated billions of times. Every lifetime we have a different identity, sometimes we come as a female, sometimes as a male, sometimes as a oriental, black, white, etc. We even, by the laws that govern nature, take bodies of animals and plants, according to our activities in our present lifetime, we'll take birth in our next lifetime in a suitable body to fulfill our desires. Intelligent thinking begins when we inquire about these topics.

I find infinity regarding the universe irrelevant to reincarnation. So no.

its not guaranteed no, i mean thats like saying the universe is really big so there must be an exact double of me out there, or saying that gravity seizes to exist anywhere. Simply anything and everything as well as nothing is possible. Just think about that, and it should be enough to blow your mind. I mean they even state that our universe was created by two parallel universes colliding, so perhaps our dead selves just transport to another universe, Well that is my deep philosophical answer to this crazy question, hope that helps!

Reincarnation? I believed in that till about middle school then I grew up. There is an after-life, but without God you're pretty screwed.

That is too much to think about, I don't want to be reincarnated and I hope for anyone else's sake they were not reincarnated as me!!

Your question is fundamentally flawed. The universe is not infinite, and all educated scientists will agree with that. It is well established that the universe is expanding, and something of infinite size cannot expand.

well if the smoke from a cigarette reaches a destination where all of it coexists together as a single entity then yes reincarnation is guaranteed.

No. In the first place, the universe is not infinite. Secondly, no matter how many zeros you add up, the result is still zero.
