I'd have confused you further had I got into -visually perceived- geometry of the universe (the gravity (the singularity)), or the fact that all any observer ever observes of the "observable universe" is flatly light's messenger and light brought message existing immediate to the observer.

Among too many other frontierless fields of endeavor in a shrinking imploding world (a shrinking imploding civilization), the mindless, perceptionless, stuff of a new Dark Age overall.
