If we assume that our current laws of physics are correct, we can set limits on how large, at least, the Universe must be before it curves back on itself.

Eee - the words you used to form the post and its semantics all indicate that a wrap will happen.

The spacetime of an infinite universe has zero curvature and is called the flat universe.

However, the spacetime of a finite universe curves back on itself. That is to what the limits refer.
 
My advice (from Rudyard Kipling, a Portsmouthian) is to keep your head when all around are losing theirs! 😀

I like what I am seeing. I think this is what is going on.
