Space is curved, and the further out we view, the more angled the path of light (information) becomes. However, since we experience an expansion, we will never be able to close this loop, in other words, we will never see the back of our head.
For me curved and closed shapes are the simplest representations of infinty, things with no beginning and no end. The shape of a circle from a line or a sphere from a surface are everyday examples of infinty in the lower and finitness in a higher dimension.
Space is both infinite and finite
Space is unbound and finite. Expansion is
infinite
. according to Relativity.
The observer defines his reality in an unbound world. whether they are two-dimensions, or 4.
String theory just defines the big-bang as having 11 dimensions which is ok if we are talking about "many worlds".
