The universe is obviously infinite, and has no dimensions, bounds or limits in any usual sense.
Proof ? : Just go to any supposed limit, and point to the other side.

IOW no proof.

Not sure what IOW is. Probably something obvious, but I'm missing it at the moment.
In any case, assume the universe IS bounded and has some presumed limit. One could theoretically stand at that limit, and then just point a LY further. Since the universe is infinite and includes everything, anywhere you're pointing would also be part of the universe.

It's not everyday you can carbon date some poster's boring ideas but
in this case we can determine your ideas stopped evolving in
the mid 18th century.

[Lessons In Hillbilly Astronomy #1:]
What happens if you have an infinite universe?
If you had an infinite Universe with a constant density of stars and/or
galaxies, then you'd wind up seeing an infinite amount of light from every
direction you'd look in. You'd see all the stars that were nearby, and then
in the spaces between the stars, you'd see the stars farther away.

What is Wilhelm "Olbers s" Paradox?
Wilhelm Olbers [1758-1840]. #proposed what is known as Olbers' paradox, which re
lates to
the problem of why the sky is dark at night. If the universe is endless and
uniformly populated with luminous stars, then every line of sight must
eventually terminate at the surface of a star.
