Answer to Question 1

The Hubble time for this value is 2 billion years. Astronomers know of globular star clusters that are significantly older than 9.5 billion years.

Answer to Question 2

According to general relativity, the overall curvature of space-time is determined by the average density of matter plus energy in the Universe. Cosmologists could calculate that space-time is flat if the average density of the Universe equals a critical density. If the average density of the Universe is more than the critical density, the Universe must be closed; and if it is less, the Universe must be open.
