The universe-as-cylinder model is consistent with the notion of a
zero-volume creation event, the big bang.
But the cylindrical universe is "closed," isn't it?
That means that it -- like the
spherical universe -- contains a finite amount of space.
Current measurements indicate that the universe is probably not
closed.
Rather, it is "critical" or "open".
In either of these
cases, the universe has an infinite amount of space AND ALWAYS HAS
HAD AN INFINTE AMOUNT OF SPACE, no?
Here's the question: HOW IS A UNIVERSE WITH AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF
SPACE CONSISTENT WITH A BIG BANG? I.e., can we possibly envision how
an infinite amount of space undergoes creation?
