Abstract
With the support of numerous arguments, it has been shown that Melia’s claim that his cosmological R h = ct model is flat and infinite is erroneous. In contrast, the model is positively curved, closed and, therefore, finite. With respect to results of Melia’s model, it is identical to our Subluminal Model.
