"Two things are infinite: the ____ and human stupidity” (attributed to Einstein) (8)

I believe the answer is:

universe

(Other definitions for universe that I've seen before include "The whole world" , "The whole of everything" , "Everything that exists anywhere" , "Sphere of thought" , "all we know?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
