Hey, meanwhile I'll be the internet space nerd. I looked it up: indeed, if the universe's curvature is positive, you end up where you started, but current measurements seem to indicate that it's actually flat

True, but as long as we haven't found any border of our universe we can't define a center so we don't know
funny related thing: the universe expands uniformly, in such a way that you can choose any point (for instance the earth) to be the center of the expansion. For all physically relevant purposes it doesn't really matter what the earth's location with respect to the extents of the universe is |

Thanks. I wasnt sure if there was some weird space physics that could actually help us figure out our orientation similar to how gravity and pressure can help us navigate to the surface in water.

Yeah, and youre aware of it all huh? I'm not... I guess when you dont know much about math the dunning kruger kicks in hard.

I don't need a theoretical physics degree to assume that math is math.
