Scientists have discovered that the universe is even larger than they originally thought!

Ask the "scientists" or their acolytes how they know. But don't expect an answer.

You get very convoluted answers that are actually internally consistent. They just don't necessarily map to reality.

What would you call them? Theoretical mathematicians? Scientists, as I once understood the term, try to look at reality and map it.

Are you kidding? Almost any scientist would gladly and enthusiastically show his work when asked, so that his experiment can be replicated and his theory strengthened. Science is all about "show your work".
There is bad science being done out there, but not what I saw in that vid. That vid I'd say is pretty well established stuff. Our modern understanding of the cosmos is derived from Einstein's general theory of relativity, which has been replicated and used to make accurate predictions so many times that we're pretty damn confident that we DO know it. If you're having trouble understanding it it isn't because no one has ever been willing to explain it. Quite the opposite.

And people STILL talk about how we only know 5% of the ocean...

This is an interesting video explaining 5 theories on what lies outside the observable universe.

Agree. I believe that our universe has no limits. A number of scientists have the same point of view.
