3. Perhaps. I guess the overall model is more what tickles me
As I understand it, we don't know the actual Omega constant for our universe, as it would depend on hard-to-measure "dark matter". But if we were in either a stable or eventually-contracting universe, it seems to me that the Hubble limit would eventually catch up with the center point.

Now having Ed and Fred at the poles is kind of the extreme case, but it seems to me that initially the observation angle would become a gradually increasing cone-shape, in which one eventually sees the same points from increasingly wide angles.

Point #7 is kind of a funny one. I'm trying to imagine tho, if you have a radiating or reflective body emitting in all directions, and the EM waves follow the curvature of space, do they stop at the singularity or radiate right on past it for a second pass? And a third? And a fourth?
