Default what shape is the universe??
Hi ya!!

something to think about..what shape is the universe??..is it round?spheroid?cube?...does it have a shape?

personally I don't think the universe has a shape...it's ABSTRACT and it acts like a hologram that interpenetrates with other universes.

Paul

Time for the required Monty Python reference:

ARTHUR: This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedemir. Explain again how sheeps' bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

The part we can observe appears spherical.

Perception isn't reality. It's merely an abstraction thereof, and quite often not a very good one at that.

I am human. Fully human.
