Yes, this is so, in a way you clearly do not realize or understand. This happens
because you speak so loosely, without specifying what you mean by "the universe"
-- that ambiguity can sensibly be interpreted two ways, which makes this
seemingly silly statement actually be correct.

In our current best cosmological models, spaceTIME is curved, but space is flat.

So if spaceTIME is curved and space is flat, does that imply that only time is curved?
