no it doesn't. think about it like this. If our universe is a piece of paper, you can walk to all the edges and from there calculate where the center of the paper is. Now imagine our 2D piece of paper universe is wraped around a baloon. Now you could walk forever in a single direction and never find the edge, and hence never calculate the center. In fact the center now lies in a difrent Dimention.
What an eloquent explanation.

Aye, that's a new way of putting it. Works nicely.

Pfft hardly a new explanation. Thats been the standard way of explaining an infinite universe since Mikey was a lad.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Oddly enough, I'd never heard of it.

Resistance is futile. Or useless, depending on who you ask.
