ooh yeah no gonna have to go with finite but unbounded there

Naw, that used to be in vogue but since then we measured spacetime and found it to be flat with a small possibility of being open (even more infinite), while there are still arguably ways to warp it around on itself, they're less likely.

How could it be infinite if it started with 0 volume? Did it expand *infinitely* quickly?

Most of the models of the big bang that I deal with don't have it "start" with literally zero volume. I mean 1) there's the planck length as a limit, 2) some models are cyclical, 3) a lot of models presume a starting infinite volume, just more compressed.

Starting infinite volume? More compressed? How does that work?

In the first infinite volume all the infinite stuff in it is condensed, close to one another, then there rapidly becomes more and more space between said stuff. But there's always infinite stuff and infinite space.

I don't understand. The universe was already infinite at the moment of the Big Bang?!

Yep. Consider a piece of rubber with points drawn on it. When you stretch the piece of rubber the points all move away from one another, there's more space between them. Now make the rubber infinite. Now stretch it.
