Indeed, but the way the math for expansion works is that there is something called a Hubble horizon and that makes it impossible to ever reach the edge, since it is moving away from us faster than light. (The limit doesn't apply to the expansion of space-time).

Quite a nifty solution by the Supreme Programmer to avoid us hitting the limits of the simulation. I couldn't have designed it better.

Well it was a more convincing solution than just having level crossing arms come down and an infinitely long train cross every time you get near the edge.

So... is Rick the top God or are there infinite simulations?

Just along the Central Finite Curve.
