I'm not convinced that the universe is infinite... unimaginably vast, yes, but maybe not infinite. I mean for us it would appear so because we can't reach or see the edge... assuming if there is one. I think I heard somewhere that the universe may resemble something like a donut where space/time warps at the edges, hence bringing the "straight-line" traveler back to their point of origion. |

Kind of, but not really. If you were to get in a car and just start driving in one direction without turning or changing course, you would eventually make full circle around the Earth and end up back where you started (let's just pretend here that oceans and other topographical obstacles didn't exist). To your perspective, it would seem as if you were just driving in a straight line the entire time. In reality, the shape of the Earth has brought you all the way back around.
The effect is thought to be the same in the universe as a whole. If you just point in one direction and go, eventually you will be circled back around to where you began. |
What? Who thinks this? As far as I know the universe is meant to be endless and never have I heard anyone mention that you could theoretically end up in the same spot :conf:

In a few thousand years, they're going to refer to these times as the "look but can't touch" age. We discover things, but can't do since we have no means of getting to them. And the few planets we do have access to, we just manage to crash probes into. |
Unless String Theory is correct and we are able to effectively bend space time and take shortcuts (ie worm holes) to get from A to B so in essence you could appear to travel much faster than light when in reality you would be going slower, just taking a shorter route. |
