This is all on a local level; the whole of space-time (e.g. the universe) is flat. Think of it this way, if the universe is expanding from a single point (essentially, we can argue those semantics/theories another time), and the universe comprises everything then what is causing the universe to bend back on itself?

I agree, speculation is not a bad thing, but to apply speculative theories (those that go against observation) is just bad science.

I think i took your last sentence of your previous post out of context.

this one:

To attempt to include conjecture where there is no evidence is akin to religion, not science.

I had always concieved of the universe as 3D. An expanding shpere. I would consider that to be "curved". What do you mean when you say that the universe is "flat?"
