I thought it had been established that the universe, as a (hyper)volume of spacetime is finite?

That doesn't mean infinity isn't lurking somewhere beyond though.

Maybe in theory but I don't think that's something that could be empirically verified. An axiomatic theory is rather a working assumption, because anything else is mathematically intractable. How could anyone understand something that's too big to understand?

My impression is that Multiverse Theories are a fad playing on semantics.
