What I was trying to ask is this: Lets assume you are standing at the edge that you mentioned. What would you see if you looked outward? If youre seeing more space ahead, then it still means that the entire universe (not just the material universe) is infinite, and not just very big. The surface of the Earth has no edge, yet the surface of the Earth is finite in area
Space is curved, and it looks like space is closed, and has a finite amount of mass.

Space is curved, and it looks like space is closed, and has a finite amount of mass. Say this space is the Earth's surface. What happens when a "spaceship" pierces out of it, or attempts to do so?
Will it disappear at the boundary and re-appear at the diametrically opposite boundary, like in some of those video games?
