When Was the Universe's Expansion Rate Zero?

[PeterDonis]

I'm pretty sure I have seen an estimate of the size of the universe

If you find one that's not $\infty$, please post it, it will be of great interest. Be sure it's an estimate of the size of the entire universe, not just the observable universe, though.

I am truly amazed at this discussion! It would be like someone asking me, a PhD in Marine Science, some basic question on oceanography.

It may seem that way to you, but remember that, in this situation, we are the ones in the position of the PhD, not you, and what seems like a "basic question" to a person not knowledgeable in a field might not seem that way to someone who is knowledgeable. To us, this discussion is not like someone asking a basic question, like "what is the volume of Earth's oceans". It's like someone asking a question that actually doesn't make sense at all, like "what is the elasticity of Earth's oceans". And then, when you point out that the oceans are liquid, not solid, and don't have an elasticity, the person says, "look, forget about your model that says the oceans are liquid, just give me the parameters of Earth's oceans and I'll calculate the elasticity myself".
