Hi Kebsis
Scientists tell us their observations are that the universe is flat, within 2%, out to the light horizon, a diameter of 92 billion light years. So if anyone can do the math, that should set a lower bound on the curvature, and therefore the size, of the universe (for whatever curvature or topology you favor).
Sorry I can't do the math for you, I am but a humble motor mechanic...
