As in, are there some parts of physics that aren’t as clear-cut as they usually are? If so, what are they?

The universe is infinite, as far as we know.

But if you condense it all into something infinitely dense, then is it suddenly finite in size? Does it still have infinite size and simultaneously infinite density? Why didn’t the immense density cause it to form a black hole?
