I want to get this simplest cosmology question asked once and for all because I don't get it. We have "cosmologicial models" which have the curvature of the universe going from positive to negative ( or maybe visa-versa ) at some stage ( or not? ). Now elsewhere we hear that a negatively curved universe is infinite and a positive one is finite. Now any student is going to ask "How can finitude become infinite?" ( or visa-versa? ) . Is what I've said flawed? Is there a contradiction? I am the amateur so the fault is surely mine. This must be a page one cosmology question with an elementary answer so can someone please explain? Someone can throw in some names of different universe shapes if they feel like it. Thanks.
