BTW, I can understand the confusion about the close universe with no edge and the notion of a flat universe with edges slicing like a pizza cutter into something. But just how did you imagine an open hyperbolic ally curved universe curve with no edges? Big Grin

is a better explaination

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
