Thinking of there as "infinity" as being one thing isn't correct.. There are many different kinds of infinities of different "sizes"

Alright, can a thing with existence (physical or not) be infinite? I’m currently thinking of the universe, or whatever the “necessary entity(not talking about anything conscious)” is. Not trying to talk about religion, I’m just wondering what cosmology tells us.
Our observable universe is not infinite, and nothing in it is infinite. The universe *could* be "infinity old", but that's a senseless notion, since at any given moment it will be some finite # of seconds old. As for the unobservable universe, your guess is as good as mine

If we have t=0, doesn’t that make the universe finite (or is that just the “observable universe)?

At any given moment yes, but in it could be infinite in the forward direction is what I meant (i.e. t ε [0, \infty))
