Well, it looks like space is spherical after all (that is, as of 12/19) <a href=http://www.spacedaily.com/news/cosmology-01f.html><font color=red>The Shape of Space</font></a> What a relief!

PS Interesting bit too at the bottom of the page re. space acoustics (Gee, X'mas music???)
Boomerang and COBE results indicate it is flat, last I new. But then, maybe... ...says more about the science writer than the science being written about. But that's just my over-active suspicion, errr...skepticism, jumping quickly to the forefront. Fueled by such qualifiers as: On the bright side were such qualifiers as: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
RE: space acoustics post-Big Bang Do you mean: if mechanical compression waves propogated through the energy-dense ether, but there was no one there to hear them, did they make sounds? And, if it weren't so damnably hot, would the solar surface be heard to be deafening?
Just wanna to say that ether was proved by the Michleson and Morley experiment to be non-existant years ago.
Thanks Chargur, that was an interesting article though I found the other one at the bottom of the page about "acoustic oscillations in early universe detected" even more interesting.
Yabbut, that's to do with the geometry of space, not it's topology. Personally. I'm beginning to favour the Great Green Arklesiezure hypothesis. Beware the coming of the Great White Handkerchief.
