Could the size of the Universe be described mathematically as "an infinite number of infinite series that all converge together at some finite value" ? 
In other words some limit exists which is manifested through the action of gravity:sherlock:

It's obviously a given that time has no beginning & the universe is infinite, because something can't come from nothing.

 

What 006 means, is that we can't observe further back in time than 13.8 billion years ago (where the first atoms emerged around our local region in this infinite existence) because what existed in the same local region prior to the birth of those atoms is out-shined by said CMB.

& unfortunately the further out we look is related (in light years) to how many years has transpired since the universe looked like that. So we can't see past 13.8 billion light years away because what the universe looked like 13.8 billion years ago was brighter than what it looked like before that.
