What boundries? The Universe has no boundries. It is unbounded, and it is everything.
If there is something outside of the known part of the Universe, it is still part of the Universe. If we live in a gigantic bubble in space, it is still part of the Universe.
Your argument is self-defeating. If you follow it to it's logical conclusion then we must come to the conclusion that your statement claiming "nobody can be right" is not right.

How do you know that the universe has no boundries? What is space for you?
Do you believe that the universe consists out of endless "room " lets call it space and somewhere in the middle of is placed a certain number of galaxies which expand from a big explosion (big bang)?
My picture is more in line with the picture Dalem gave you already, the universe is like a ballon which is slowly inflated . The 3 dimensional (the space we move in) is the surface of this 4 dimensional ballon.
My argument isnīt self defeating I am trying simply tell you that you have to define very clearly what the meaning of a word is. Your definiton from the word universe can be different from mine, at least it seems that this is the case.
I tried to give you a pecture how I imagine myself the universe. Now I would like that you give an answer how you imagine the universe is build. Afterwards we can discuss which picture fits our experience best, where are perhaps gaps in the other ones worldview eg.
