Let me take the oportunity to use this post for which
it was orignally intended twake:

Ok, a novel approach for you.....

If a closed universe is expanding there is no edge.

Well, it depends how you use closed. The general cosmological use for a
"Closed Universe" is one which has a finite amount of expansion possible. It
is still infinite in size.

If the universe is anything but infinite in size, it has an edge.

Instead the space inbetween the galaxies is stretching.

No. Stretching is a bad analogy as it implies things which aren't so.

The balloon model is not the real thing. It is an analogy to help people
understand some of the concepts.

What is interesting is that in cosmology the light
transversing this space is also stretched. It gets
longer and less energetic. This redshift is how we
determine their distances.

Where does the energy go?


If there is no boundary the universe can be seen to
be the surface of a hypersphere.


Nope.
