I remember being taught the nature of the unviverse according to a certain scientist, I don`t remember if it was a book, TV documentary or a person?

 

excuse my inability to give an EXACT quote, but it was MANY years ago! and went something like this:

 

The Nature of the Universe,

 

imagine a single point in space.

then stretch this point into an infinately long line.

join the two ends so that it forms a circle.

spin this circle at infinate speed until it becomes a Sphere.

turn this sphere inside out.

the Universe is the bit that`s in the middle !

 

no, I did NOT make this up, I did actualy hear this somewhere, but does anyone know WHO said it?

I don't know who said it, but it's not very accurate as most models and data indicate the universe is not spherical.

except the MIB version, in which it was probably a marble, since the galaxies were such as well.
