Something slightly less complicated which I may as well ask here:
​
Suppose that the gravitational constant is much stronger, the speed of light is faster, and the Universe is much smaller and closed. Or alternatively, suppose that light follows the surface of the Earth, essentially making the Universe flat.
​
If I look any direction, failing any obstructions, I'll see the back of my head, no? Would the "edge" of the Universe then appear to be just a huge blur of dark brown hair?
