If it were infinite, then the night sky would be as bright as the day, since all the infinite stars would send light, and even if there was matter as suggested in the 1800s by a scientist (forgot his name), it would be so heated up until it glows.

That's one of the dumbest assumptions I've heard.

In the latter case it would helpful to describe how one then measures the 3d volume from inside the 3d space.
