I remember Étienne Klein explaining that one of the theory why the universe is flat (if you take 3 galaxies and draw a triangle using them as points the sum of the angles will always be 180) is that we might be like an ant sitting on a ball. The ant only sees so much of the ball and from its perspective everything is flat. But in reality the ball is round.

Or the ball is projected from a 3D surface infinitely far away :D (holographic universe theory)
