Ok, now you're saying that infinite decimals have final digits.

If Universe is infinite, then if we compare you to size of Universe, you are infinitely small, so you don't exists at all. Why I should waste my time?

If Universe is finite, then finite number of elements can make only finite number of combinations, thus this discussion is repeated infinite number of times again. Why I should waste my time again?

Yes, you're wasting your time if you compare my size to the size of an infinite universe. If you really want to waste your time that way, you don't want to use real numbers. On the real number line my size is exactly zero. You need to go into infinitesimals, which are out of place when you're looking at decimal notation, which is only for real numbers.
