Its the issue of the definition of "boundary": current cosmological models say its isomorphic which colloquially means "same everywhere" which translates into "everyone anywhere in the universe perceives they are at the center". No one is "near the edge." Paradoxically to we 4-dimensional beings--who oft times have a hard time even with 3 dimensions--this still means there is no "boundary" but it *is* finite and it *does* have a "measurable" diameter!
Go figure!
