Forget Flat Earth Theory, now we have Flat Universe Theory!

RE: Forget Flat Earth Theory, now we have Flat Universe Theory!
Quote:The surface of a sphere is not infinate (sic) in any respect to volume or space.

This is true. However, the surface of a sphere is unbounded in that if you could walk on that surface, you could walk essentially forever and not find a beginning or end. Similarly, I've heard the universe described as finite but unbounded. That's my two cents' worth.

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero
