couldn't the universe be a sphere? U can go west on a planet and never reach an end, just keep circling the earth. and if the universe is like a sphere, discarding "folding" the universe, just going from Point A to Point B by going through the sphere?

no the universe will be a flat disc. the full reason for this is complicated. its the same as why galixies are all flat discs.
actually, latest research shows that the universe does not exist and that earth is flat and is held by 3 elephants standing on a turtle

Once we go to a planet that is double in size, there will be double amount of pressure pushing us down, hence, we would weigh more on jupiter than on any smaller chunk of matter, like moons or the smaller planets in our solar system
why don't people in china get pushed off the earth?

pressure would be on all sides of the planet. it would all push toward the center of the earth
and maybe that's what keeps the core active

so what happens at that point in space where the pressure reverses.
like on the side of the moon that faces us. somewhere between here and there this pressure reverses right. and also, what keeps the moon going around the earth?

heat from our solar system getting created is why the center of the earth is hot. over time it has been cooling and will eventualy become cold like mars. so what keeps the center of the earth "active" is infact heat.
i have no idea about pressures reversing. polarity?

or large bodies of mass create a pulling force towards its center. this woudl allow for this reversing.

Well I haven't been keeping up with the matter as I well should, but the last few books and articles I have read have all led me to believe that space is finite.
