but, I think this all assumes "normal" inflation is correct...which the holographic theory may have a different interpretation(1), as the 4-D event horizon is 3D which would shield this universe from the initial singularity (the big bang). This of course all assumes stars in a 4D universe implode into black holes. :-) We will find out maybe soon if Fermilab's Holometer (E-990) experiment works and let us know if we are living in a hologram!
I would say that the universe is flat, ellipsoid, and edgeless, and limited by the speed of light because the matter of the universe are our sensations, particularly our visual field as Mach suggested. http://www.nihonbunka.com/blog/archives/000269.html
