* Bursting the Spherical Bubble: Universe Might Be Pill-Shaped

Instead of being perfectly round like a globe, the universe might be a bit stretched in shape like a pill.

"It is actually difficult to understand how an ellipsoidal model would arise 'naturally' in cosmology, so the burden switches from explaining a very mild 'anomaly' to explaining a fundamentally new feature of our universe," Hinshaw said.

If our Observable Universe begun as a Black Hole Like Object its space have to rotate. This rotation is replaced by an expansion in every directions because an energy supply from outside. This elipsoidal shape would be a remnant of the very early rotation.

I guess a cube shaped (http://www.bautforum.com/showthread.php?t=46055) universe has been ruled out?

More news - more questions. More questions. I wouldn't have it any other way. I would hate to think we'd get to the point where we have to tell our kids "yeah. That's pretty much it. Nothing else to discover. Go home"

"It is rather ironic that the job of a scientist is to understand nature, and if the scientist completely succeeds, the reward is unemployment. But of the many things that concern me in the day-to-day existence of a scientist, waking up one morning and discovering that there are no problems to solve is rather low on the list."
