A dodecahedron?

Somewhere there's a REALLY REALLY REALLY big Dungeon Master rolling our universe around to determine damage from a long spear against a frost giant.

The standard model of cosmology predicts that the universe is infinite and flat.

The standard model of cosmology has been shown to be in err some 45 years ago. While the information in this article is adds to our knowledge of the universe, it is not as much of a paradigm shift as the title and opening paragraph suggest.

“Their ‘small’, closed universe should be about 30 billion light years across.”

Yet the universe estimated at 14.5 billion years old. Expansion faster then light, which they say is impossible, or a pre-existing cell being filled in by the Big Bang. Interesting choices.

“If the universe has a boundary, doesn’t that imply a frame of reference external to the universe? That would seem to violate the concept of universe.”

But not of universeS.

In fact if this theory has validity, infinite stacks of universes seem a reasonable assumption.
