Of course the absolute extended radius of the universe is much greater than its present 13.6 BLY.

The absolute radius of the universe at maximum extention can be determined using the Omega of the universe which has been established most accurately by WMAP at 1.02. Mike Turner at the university of Chicago has done the measurments on this.

Ned Wright in his note to me, confirmed that space in the universe is marginally closed.
I laughingly replied to him that it was "Italian flat". He didn't reply to that crack.

Obviously space, for our purposes is observed flat, but in fact, space in the universe as a whole is hypersherical and closed...near singular particles, hyperbolic and closed.

By the way, since space and time are products of the way we observe the universe, we could almost call them figments of our imagination, a mysterious, almost magical construct indeed.

It all seems so real...it IS real, even eternal, including our own existence. Yet the existence of the universe and observaion by observers are intertwined. The system is a construct.
