Years ago, one course in Geometry discussed the hypothetical. One of those hypotheticals is that the shape of the universe is a torus (donut shape) and the universe is inside. Is that possible?

We had better be careful or will fall right off the edge.

OK, if the universe started with the big bang, then all stuff would have been very close together. So it seems to me if the universe is expanding at the speed of light, then everything should still be visible to us no matter what direction it went. What am I missing.

Is the universe shrinking or are people getting bigger?

If the universe was infinitely old, as we used to assume, [No. "We" didn't.] then it must be filled with an infinite number of stars and galaxies. [Nonsense.]

I have always asked, what exactly is the universe expanding into? If you approach the very edge of the universe, and look across, what would you see? I asked a professor that once, and he snickered.

It’s smaller than that.

Just try getting past the firmament.

If the universe is 14 billion years old, why is the radius of the universe so much more than 14 billion light years?
