But the universe is not a thing in time and space that can be either finite or infinite; the antinomy is provoked by thinking of it as if it were. The questioner, the observer, brings something unique, namely, a finite self, to each and every perception in time and space; this very observer produces bad infinities the moment he or she tries to step into the shoes of the god of very large things by transforming the limited connecting of moments and places necessary for any perception into the unlimited realm of everything at all times.
