We believe that the universe is unbounded: this is not the same as infinite: the 2-D surface of a sphere, wrapped around a 3rd dimension, has a finite size, but has no end. If you start off in a given direction on the surface of a sphere, you could return to your start point without having to turn around -- you simply go all the way around. But wouldn't that mean the universe has an escape velocity like the earth?

I have been thinking, why aren't people taller than people today in the halo universe? 500 years ago people were 2ft. shorter than people today. So why is every one like 6ft. tall? I mean Cheif is about 6ft. and as we see he is very healthy. Don't you think the would have healthyer food. So can enyone tell ,me why they aren't taller?
1) The reason you evolve is so that you can change accordingly to your needs. Adaptation. We do not need to adapt in size.
2) Humans 500 years ago were as tall as us.
i exagereted, but that is not true. Aberham Licone was a little over 6 ft. tall and that was considered really tall.
So? In Asia today im 6 ft 3 and im considered a giant. Hell, im a ft taller than 85% of my family. In most countries in the world the average height is still within the 5ft range.
Things like genetics and environment are also fundamental to the development of human height, even nutrition and physical labor have to be taken into account. Humans 500 years ago were still near our height, and I bet you that if they lived in todays world, they would not be midgets, or even close to midgets, unless the planet had a case of dwarfism. >_>
