There's already the model of the 2D sphere curved in 3D space, which assumes no boundaries, although finite matter.
This, although, is not confirmed, and that's the biggest problem atm, lack of technology, all researches indicate the universe is flat BUT can be distorted which takes us back to the 4D diagram, meaning 3D is curved on 4D, so to speak.
In ancient times, we thought the world was flat aswell. As most things later to be found, it's been proven to point towards a cyclical pattern.
And since all is relative, why wouldn't our universe share this same characteristic?
