what are the tools for aided visualisation ? some generalisation ? for ex., Tony Smith uses some formula for decomposing CL(>8) into some simpler handable thing....just that at eight, is the limit of my unaided visualisation.

If the Universe was infinitly large, there would no room to expand to.

How do you know that? I don't think there's a definite answer to the question "is the universe infinite?" yet.

Well, the Universe had to start somewhere. Assuming the Big Bang Theory, the Universe can only expand as fast as the speed of light; and it hasn't been an infinite number of years since the Universe was created.
Also, consider this: we see a bunch of stars at night. These stars are millions of miles away. If the Universe was infinitely large, then there are an infinite number of stars; we would see every single star's light (because it would have all reached the earth after an infinite time period), and the night would be as bright as day.

Topologicall you can think of said dimension as compact.
