Is the universe finite or infinite?

This seems to be a simple question because I recall someone reflecting on the notion of when a transition from finite to infinite might occur.
Obviously it can't happen.
Therefore, the universe is perpetually finite, or perpetually infinite. If the latter, plank time and distance were infinite but otherwise always finite. We know with complete certainty the universe is bigger than the observable universe that we can all claim to be at the precise center of.
How much bigger, especially if infinite?
There are serious practitioners on this forum who may well be capable of confusing me further.
In essence, I am captured by the impossibility of a hypothetical transition from finite to infinite at a presumed point in time.
