The inertial tendancy of mass in our universe to be flying apart ( due to the big bang ) causes local curvature to decrease ( assuming a closed universe ) and this in turn would causes the global volume of the universe to increase.

The latest research shows that even the most powerful future experiments ( like SKA, Planck . . ) will not be able to distinguish between flat, open and closed universe if the true value of cosmological curvature parameter is smaller than 10 " 4.

If standard models of inflationary cosmology are correct, a universe that does not eventually collapse on itself ( a closed universe ) or expand forever into infinity ( an open one ) should have a critical density, expressed as omega equals one, and a flat geometry.

Since the simplest cosmological model ( the De Sitter universe ) that solves that equation is a spherically symmetric, stationary, closed universe ( exhibiting a cosmological red shift, which is more conventionally interpreted as due to expansion ), it seemed to explain the overall form of the universe.

From " Nature " journal : " If the Universe is closed, and has a small enough diameter, we may be able to see right round it because photons can traverse the whole Universe " and " The WMAP data . . . suggest that we might indeed live in such a small closed universe ".

M . Dennis states that archaeogaming is " & the utilization and treatment of immaterial space to study created culture, specifically through videogames which requires treating a game world, a world bounded and defined by the limitations of its hardware, software and coding choices, as both a closed universe and as an extension of the external culture that created it.
