Wait a second, so you're telling me that if Omega is greater than 1, the universe is shaped like a donut? (...since a saddle is just a section of the surface of a torroid.)

How are astrophysicists supposed to maintain any dignity if it turns out the universe is shaped like a donut?

I know. While looking through a telescope I occasionally see the back of my head. Then I realize it is the back of my head billions of years ago and that really blows my mind.

If it’s shaped like a torroid then there’s a cop somewhere, right?
