Don't feel bad swoarg I think I'm probably more confused than you. Even Stephen Hawkings has a little confusion when it comes to no boundries. Quote:



The newest development is that Hawking has recently realized that the no boundary proposal does not require the universe to be closed and finite, as he thought before. In a lecture Inflation; An Open and Shut Case, Hawking included the following statement.

• ...I thought the no boundary proposal, implied that the universe had to be spatially closed, and finite in size. But a few months ago, Neil Turok and I, were talking about his ideas on open inflation. We realized that they could be fitted in with the no boundary proposal. The universe would still be closed and finite, in one way of looking at it. But in another, it would appear open and infinite.
  
  You like I are probably more confused now.
  
  Best to you, don't let confusion get you down.
