The information has been limited to observations. But science has always attempted to offer interpretations of the evidence that "saves the appearances". As more and better evidence has grown so too have the interpretations to build various cosmologies that respect the growth of physics through the centuries
People have been known to dedicate their entire lives to various issues, but achieve absolutely nothing at all really.
It is not that Einstein did not understand those things. Einstein just understood those things as best he could, at that time, which was probably a little bit better and more, than most people did, if not all people, at that time. Of course there was more to discover, learn, and understand.
In comparison, each generation only knows a fraction of what the next one will discover and learn. So what Einstein knew or thought he knew could be said to be ahead of that time.
Just like you gater I am pretty sure you have a lot more to discover, learn, and understand about the Universe, Itself, or do you really believe that you have learned it all?
If it is the later, then you really do have a lot more to discover, learn, and understand. Not just about the Universe, Itself, but also about you, and your self.
Is it possible that there is not even an actual thing as time, itself, for it to be a constant?
Could time just be a word only, which is used to describe the action of measuring changes in the Universe, and to describe the difference in the those changes so that human beings know where and when to go to 'after' or 'next', or where and when they were 'before', for example?
Is it possible that it is not time that is a constant, but it is motion, or change, which is what is actually constant?
If you are going to say that it is time that is a constant, then you had better explain what time is exactly then.
I would hope you did not. It certainly does not take that long to understand the Universe, Itself.
Also, remember, what you have learned and know now, if it is true and correct, which you may or may not have took a long time to understand, could be taught in a classroom to 10 years in the future in a few days, if not a few hours.
Do you imagine that they are also going to be stupid and childish enough as you are to say things like; The people in those days, of when this is being written, did not understand space, time, or gravity? Or, will they be a bit more knowledgeable and have a bit more understanding, than you have shown here, and just know and accept that "those" people, like "them", are ALL just like children in Life, discovering, learning, and understanding new and more things all of the time along the way?

You say that an infinite Universe that keep changing is illogical, which infers that you know why this is illogical or why some other way is logical. So, do you actually have any thing to back up your claim here?
Einstein was not an absolutely imperfect human being who did not make mistakes. So, when you stop worshiping Einstein like God, Itself, then you will start to wake up and see things differently.
What Einstein was meaning, or was meant to mean, or maybe had missed, is not even yet fully understood. Once that is, then the experiments will change, and then the infinite and eternal Universe will be verified as being true. Although experiments will not be needed because just a sound and valid argument could show how an infinite and eternal Universe is true, and a sound and valid argument is irrefutable.
Assuming and/or believing that the Universe is finite, does not mean that It is.
Do you have any actual real prove that the Universe is finite?
Better still are you even able to explain, logically and reasonably, just how the Universe could even be finite?
If you are able to, then go ahead.
You made the claim, now let us see you show the evidence, which backs up your claim.
Or is that belief from the bible, "In the beginning", still stuck in that head. That sad misinterpreted belief has past down from scientists to scientists, for centuries upon centuries now, with them still doing all they can to confirm that the Universe had a "beginning", and is thus finite, just to satisfy their already obtained distorted beliefs that the Universe actually did 'begin".
As for everything else, you haven't got a clue.

Re: The Infinite Universe
To make the claim: To understand the Universe, you must understand the true nature of time, space, and matter. infers or implies that you do actually understand the true nature of the Universe, and understand the true nature of time, space, and matter.
Okay this part is already well understood, already well accepted, and already well known, by some of us.
But you also made the inference that you do understand the true nature of the Universe, and of time, space, and matter as well. Now, if you want to be taken seriously, then how about starting to tell us what the actual true nature of the Universe, what the true nature of time, the true nature of space, and the true nature of matter actually is.
Then we will be able to see if what you know is right and correct, or not.
Surely if you are going to make claims, such as you have here, then surely you are able to substantiate them, correct?

Re: The Infinite Universe
Time is a constant, it never slows or stops. Nothing effects Time. Gravity has no effect on time - the Scientific Community thinks it does based on Einsteins theories, but this is where they fail - they don't understand time, and their beliefs are based on a flawed theory.
Every point of the Universe experiences the same time, the same now - that is the true nature of time.
The true nature of space is area without matter that extends forever.
Matter, like space, extends forever. Matter has been forming and reforming forever. Gravity is created by matter and only effects other matter.
The Universe has always been here, and always will be - that is the nature of the Universe.

Re: The Infinite Universe
But what exactly is 'time', which is a constant?
What is this thing, which never slows, never stops, and is not affected by anything?
Well considering you just said 'nothing' effects time, I do not see any need at all to now say that 'gravity' has no effect on time also. If nothing effect time, then that is all that needs to be said.
I have seen you write this once or twice before.
Did you not read where I wrote: Okay this part is already well understood, already well accepted, and already well known, by some of us?
Also, theories are just that - a theory. A 'theory' does not purport to know the actual truth of what really takes place. Theories are just an assumption or a guess of what happens or occurs.
So, theories cannot be flawed as such, but obviously people can do experiments and read results, incorrectly, which then makes it appear as though a theory is being more verified as being correct, and then some people actually start believing the theory, assumption or guess, is right and correct.
Are you saying the true nature of time is now, as in there is no other moment other than an eternal now?
If no, then what are you saying is the true nature of time, exactly?
However, if you are saying that the true nature of time is the eternal now, then I am still curious as to what is 'time', which is the constant-eternal now? What is 'it', which is in a constant-now?
By the way, if time is only a constant now, then there could only be One point of the Universe, which experiences the eternal now.
Well this obviously appears rather illogical, as an area without matter cannot extend forever, because there is matter.
The Universe could not exist, the way it is without matter, so there is obviously no area without matter where space extends forever.
Because there is matter, there could not be a space extending forever.
This is obviously appearing even more illogical. How could it be possible that two opposing things, like; matter and space, could now both extend forever. For one to extend forever the other could not exist, and vice-versa.
Obviously both of them exist, so how could you better write the above, and write it logically this time?
By the way it is not hard at all.
The word 'reforming' implies that something is forming back into its original self. What are the chances of the Universe ever reforming back to how it once was originally before?
Could just saying, 'matter is forming (or changing) forever', still mean the exact same thing as what you are trying to say here?
Okay.
Saying the Universe has always been here, and always will be, implies or infers that there was a past and a future, which contradicts your wording above, 'the same now'.
Obviously there cannot be 'different nows', like in the past nor in the future, if there is only the 'same now'.
Also, is just being here really the nature of the Universe. I would suggest that when you understand why the Universe is here, then you will better understand and know the true nature of the Universe. But you appear to still have some more to learn and understand yet.
By the way, if you want to make the claim that others do not understand things, like time, then it would be much better if you could explain things exactly as they are, like you actually truly and fully understood them yourself, and not explain them as how you believe they are.

And that's where you've already shown your complate ignorance about this topic as well, about the problem how one can reconcile Einsteinian temporality with the eternal universe. You aren't even aware of the problems being discussed, as I said, you haven't got a clue. Why don't you take a few years to get up-to-date with the current knowledge of humanity.

One day you will catch up and work out that, contrary to your belief, the Universe is eternal and infinite.
It has already been reconciled.

Those so called problems have already been resolved. Are you not yet aware of this fact?
You can keep looking at perceived "problems" for as long as you want, but considering they have already been solved, then what is your purpose for doing so?

Obviously, absolutely every thing is relative to the observer, but because time and space are not physical things, then, no matter how fast an observer is traveling nor is away from another has no bearing on the actual ageing of any thing. The speed an observer travels just affects what 'appears' to occur, and not what 'actually' occurs.
Since absolutely every thing is relative, even what 'appears' depends on the observer, itself, but what is also obvious is what 'appears' to be the true is not necessarily actually true.
Space and time have absolutely no substance so can have absolutely no effect on physical things.
Since you have not provided any thing for what relativity is, to you, then I cannot refute what you do not share.
If, however, you want more detail and more explanations, or just want to learn more and anew, then just challenge and question me on absolutely any thing you like.
