Talking about infinities is a sure way to lead to mistakes, and I'm
probably going to make one, but why should the light be infinite? Won't

universe which does not suffer Olber's paradox.

I REALLY recommend the corresponding chapter in Edward Harrison's
COSMOLOGY textbook to all interested in Olbers's paradox.
