Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

If you could go much faster than light and went in a straight line, would you:1) reach the edge of the expansion wave of the Big Bang2) go back to where you started fromAnd if it’s the latter, how can you be sure it’s your origin point and not just a region of an infinite universe that just happens to be identical to our own, including a duplicate of you leaving?
As far as I know, cosmologists didn’t think the Universe was “flat like a pancake”. When they said the Universe was flat, they meant it was Euclidean. That is, the Euclidean postulates held. A non-Euclidean Universe was curved on a large scale, making things like triangles with sums of angles greater than or less than 180°, depending on the type of curvature.
The “cosmic speed limit” is the speed of light in a vacuum. But, it doesn’t apply to the expansion of the Universe itself. The expansion of the Universe is causing some galaxies to be moving away from us faster than the speed of light. One consequence is, no matter how old the Universe gets, we will never be able to see anything more than 46 billion light-years away from us.
The truth is in science what they (Scientist) don’t know outnumbers what they do know by a billion to one. So what theory they think is right today will most likely be proven wrong by Tuesday. They will have a new theory on Wednesday and so it goes.

I could have sworn it was like a giant cinnamon bun.

All in all the whole world is a… “big cheese” (and that’s the reason why life stinks sometimes, folks!)

With sprinkles!

A real donut is deep fat fried and crispy. These half baked things served now barely pass as snack cake.

I tend to lean more toward a bagel model myself.

In Everything, Everywhere All At Once the Universe is really a bagel

It’s only true if your rising sign is Torus.

More like an intestinal pile of tubing.
All hail the flying spaghetti monster.
May the sauce be with you.

If you get sucked into the donut hole, you end up at Dunkin’ Donuts.

I hate to say this, but one thing I missed about going to church yesterday was there were no donuts. Shame on me.

Donut shaped universe is Homer Simpsons theory, which he told to Dr. Hawking, who said he was stealing it.

According to string theorists, the galaxy is a Gordian knot of a yo-yo in God’s pocket.

With all those stars in it, you’d think the universe was more a box of Lucky Charms.

The universe is most likely a sphere, like most planets and stars and such.
Steverino Premium Member almost 2 years ago
The universe can’t be flat as a pancake because cats would have pushed everything over the edge by now.

Mmmm, donuts….
