I don't understand the shape of it though
apparently you can never fly to the edge of space, you just keep going

nope, the way it was explained to me, it's like the game Asteroids
only instead of going off one side and appearing on another, you just never leave it

Like walking round the outside of a ping pong ball, you can just go forever.
Although it would have to be a big ping pong ball. Bigger than the fucking massive hamster that works The London Eye.

OK, I'll have a crack, but I'm not a scientist.
Say you were a 2 dimensional being (basically up and down did not exist for you) and you lived on a 3 dimensional sphere. You could travel forever in the 2 dimensions you existed in and never reach an end, only back where you came from.

This does not make the sphere infinite, just finite in a direction you cannot perceive or travel in.

So use that analogy for yourself as a three dimensional being (as you are) and the universe as a 4 dimensional sphere. It's not infinite, but in a direction we can't/dont 'do'.

This may all be bollocks.
