spatial curvature... and it is just portion of space we can observe

Dr Krauss,
A friend and I were having a discussion regarding cosmology. Specifically, it was related to the (flat) shape of the Universe (as told in your "A Universe From Nothing" lecture re: the possibility of a zero total energy universe.).
The question came up, "Well which part of the Universe is he talking about?". Is the entirety of spacetime flat? Or is it just space by itself? It has been my understanding to this point that, when discussing the universe in the cosmological sense, it complicated things to separate space from time while my friend believed (based on wording in papers) that it was merely the spatial portion of the continuum being referenced.

Lawrence Krauss answers random emails? That's pretty fucking awesome of him.
It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.

What is this, I came in here expecting to see people still trying to explain stuff to people that would clearly never get it and instead I see Semaphore's victory dance and Laize admitting he's wrong? Did this thread enter an alternate reality?

This is what happens when you fire three tachyon pulses from three different time periods and they converge at one point in space. Originally Posted by Xanjori
