your on the right track, while the universe is not infinite, it is expanding at an infinite rate....confusing I know, but think of it this way
big bang->starts off the expansion of the universe
when we stop to look at a certain point in time we can very well define the universe as constant, but if looked over time, its far from that
as for calculating the actual size of the universe, its up to complex physics and with physics follows math(tons of it!)

your right and wrong, because numbers can be accumulated an infinite number of times, your statement has some truth, but if you replace infinite in your sentence(if you can call it that
)
with the actual scientific definition, it would make absolutely no since(also there is a difference between scientific and linguistic definitions)
