No, it's finite... It depends on how many you can have at once, but at most, it would be about 2^8.

I would say that most human beings have at one time or another experienced all of the basic as well as branch emotions....Just not all at once...that would be way too harsh and confusing
I think that I am experiencing the emotion of puppy love right now...the girl right above me is really cute!

I think they are unlimited. There are the emotions you feel for your mother or father child children friends tv personalities, its endless. Then there are personal things - my hair drives me crazy at times. Then there are preferences, your favorite color. How you feel about people on here.
Unlimited.

I thought it was unlimited, and combined with degrees of intensity to fit the situation.

There certainly are a few but you kinda forget about them when you don't experience them often
