Some how physics theory alludes to a flat horizon to the Universe,wouldnt that mean that it does not curve along withthe space herein?

Hi. It is bent at any height above zero. Look at the horizon from a spacecraft and you'll see this. The bending gets reduced as you approach zero height, at which point it is a flat circle.

If the land is perfectly flat (no hills or buildings or such), then it appears to us that we are on a perfectly flat plate all around.
The horizon is the point where the earth curves away from our line of sight, and that is the same (again, assuming no obstructions) in all directions.
So the horizon appears flat in a circle all around us.

When I look out over the ocean I see a slight curve.
