Space *might* have the topology of a three-dimensional torus, and one way to construct this mathematically is to start with a cube and then identify opposing faces as identical as if glued together, i.e. you go out one you come in the other. This is impossible to visualize as a shape because you'd need 4 or 5 dimensions for that, just like you need three dimensions to show a 2-dimensional torus surface.
