So, I'm not too physics savvy but I am curious to ask. Is there a finite amount of mass in the universe? or is there more and more being created from somewhere or something? If the universe is infinite, and there's a finite amount of mass, that just seems kinda weird I guess.

Hopefully this isntisn't too dumb a question...

Thanks!
