Extropians,

Everyone keeps pointing out to me that the current most likely
theory, due to the scientific evidence to date, is that the universe
is likely open, not closed. Does this discovery, in Japan at the
supper Kimiocande detector, that the Neutrino has mass change all
that?

I figured there would be much more discussion about this here.
Can we now argue that the universe is most likely closed? Here's a
CNN article in case you've missed it.
