Question: Is the Universe finite or infinite? If it is infinite, how can it have a center?

God's answer:

An egg

The universe is a continuum

Meaning: The word continuum is defined as "a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, but the extremes are quite distinct".¹

I don’t understand the definition of the word continuum in this context. Based solely on the representation given, my interpretation is that space is infinite but the universe, although vastly spread out, is finite.
