It's a load of ridiculous baloney, the Universe is infinite in extent.

That is currently not testable, and may well never be testable. Current
theory is not complete enough to say with any certainty whether the
Universe is finite or infinite. The only proper, scientific answer is
that we have a good idea about the size of the observable Universe, and
that we don't know much about what lies beyond that.
