Hi,
one of the problems that inflation right after the Big Bang solves is the horizon problem. While this post is not really related to inflation, I was wondering why a closed universe is not a more favorable candidate for the solution to that problem, rather than inflation.
Perhaps I have what the concept of a closed universe would look like wrong, but would a closed universe not a priori have a horizon, just like here on Earth were we can only see so far around the curvature of the planet. If the universe was closed, wouldn't this offer an already immediate answer to the horizon problem?
Thanks,
