This model does assume the big bang happened in a spheroid pattern. It's just flattened to add time as an axis from left to right cause you couldn't represent time otherwise.

    The big bang didn't happen in a pattern, it happened everywhere at once: https://nasaspacenews.com/2025/10/is-the-universe-infinite-new-evidence-challenges-our-cosmic-understanding/

    The universe expanding means it gets sparser. It has no edge and no center, so it's not spherical. It's either infinite or repeating (e.g. it might be the surface of a 4D torus, but as said: that doesn't imply an edge). I personally believe it's infinite and not repeating.
