A no-go theorem proves flat and open FRW universes cannot be nonsingular, geodesically complete and ANEC-consistent while closed universes can, with positive curvature mimicking phantom dark energy at the 1% level.

Open case for a closed universe
A no-go theorem proves flat and open FRW universes cannot be nonsingular, geodesically complete and ANEC-consistent while closed universes can, with positive curvature mimicking phantom dark energy at the 1% level.
