-In the first few fractions of a second after the big bang, was the universe finite and closed during early inflation, before it smoothed out and became flat and infinite? I am wondering because I would like to know if the theory implies that the universe initially inflated with a finite volume, then became infinite. Or, did the universe come into being infinite, then went through a period of rapid inflation during the first few mili-seconds. Thanks!
