Scientists think universe shaped like soccer ball: The universe may be finite, - GoFuckYourself.com

Wow! That's weird. So what's outside our universe?!

LONDON (Reuters) -- The universe may be finite, spherical and patched together like a soccer ball, according to U.S. and French researchers.

Jeffrey Weeks, a MacArthur Fellow based in Canton, New York, and researchers from the University of Paris and Observatory of Paris studied astronomical data which suggests the universe is finite and made of curved pentagons joined together into a sphere.

In research reported in the Thursday edition of the science journal Nature, the scientists said data from NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotrophy Probe, which maps background radiation left over from the Big Bang, is not consistent with an infinite universe.

"Since antiquity, humans have wondered whether our universe is finite or infinite. Now, after more than two millennia of speculation, observational data might finally settle the ancient question," Weeks said.

In a commentary on the research, George Ellis of the University of Cape Town in South Africa, said if Weeks and his colleagues are correct we might indeed live is a small, closed universe.

whats outside the universe?

maybe the next dimension? (outside of time and space)

PimpMeNot · 10-09-2003, 12:28 PM

then the question is:
What lies behind or after our finite world?

No. The question is "whats outside the universe?" Can't you read?

The human mind is not capabale of comprehending an infinite universe.

Nor is it capable of comprehending a finite universe since that contradicts the logic that an inside must have an outside to have an inside to have an outside . . .

And of course the universe is a shpere, its all nature uses.

Think about the structure of things in our universe, are cells square? Molecules are triangular or cylindrical?

Spheres are the way to build.

Maybe the universe IS a soccer ball!? On the outside there would probably be a very large soccer player.....and some grass?

How can radiation be left over from something that has never been proven to have happened?

The big bang theory is just that... "theory"

I'm sure there are lots of things out there that are 'not consistent' with what we/they know...

Leave it to more scientists to try to turn theory into fact...

Too many of these idiots are sipping too much from their test tubes..

There is more proof SUPPORTING the big bang than there is DISPROVING it.

This is simply because there are more people trying to prove it than there are people trying to disprove it.
