Have I proven our universe is not infinite

too advanced or too primitive to hear us, find us or care about us. The probability that they are close enough to us and sufficiently advanced to contact us but not so advanced as to not want to bother is INFINITELY small.Simple math.........
radio signals BROADCAST... they arent frickin lasers. Your juvenile ideas of straight lines dont exist in OUR reality
The Drake equation clearly shows that IF life exists it is EITHER too far away, too advanced or too primitive to hear us, find us or care about us. The "probability" that they are close enough to us and sufficiently advanced to contact us but not so advanced as to not want to bother is INFINITELY small.
Simple math... how long have we been sending singals into space? cut that number of "years" HALF for them to receive it and send a response and us to receive it.... that "half" number is the radius of the sphere containing the space, the volume of space, which we have as a "target audience" so far. Are there a dozen stars in that volume? Maybe 50 at the most? and how many of those 50 stars have planets? We just haven't been broadcasting LONG enough to get anyones attention.

Wrong. By that logic, everything that could happen would always be happening somewhere in the universe. We know this is not true, because then an infinite number of stars would be going supernova before the the first stars ever formed. See the problem? Since time is not infinite, and the laws of causation are pretty rigid, there has to be a first time for everything. If it were infinite as you seem to suggest, then there was no first time... just an infinite regression of times.
Besides, objects beyond our observable horizon (including signals) will never reach us. So if an infinite number of replies are coming from beyond that radius, how would you ever know?

Since science believes that the universe is expanding it can not be infinite.Or should we believe that the universe is getting more infinite all the time.

Using your logic I just proved that the blond who lives three houses down the road doesn't exist. Oh, crap… looks like she's telling her dad.

If I understand you correctly, you're assuming that "everything that could possibly exist" includes time travel. What if it doesn't?
-
Sorry does not work that way. You havn't proved anything.
You can go back to sleep now.

Your looking into space with rose coloured spekticles

Rubbish
