I think people are under the impression that Earth is round, but the
universe is flat. I'm no mathematician, but I'm sure you could figure out
the curvature of the universe. I believe that the universe isn't all that
complicated, In fact its simple- a repeating model of the atom. It also
brings these questions into my mind- 1. is the universe never-ending and
what is this doing in this newsgroup?
