[QUOTE="-Jiggles-"][QUOTE="thepwninator"][QUOTE="-Jiggles-"][QUOTE="thepwninator"] There's some debate, and it depends on the amount of dark energy and matter in the universe. If it's more than a certain amount, it's saddle-shaped, if it's less than that amount, it's doughnut-shaped, and if it's just at the certain amount, it's spherical.
It's been a while since I've read The Fabric of the Cosmos, though, so the above might be wrong.

Interesting. Is "Fabric of the Cosmos" a book or an internet article? I wish to look it up sometime.
It's a book by Brian Greene. It's really interesting, but it focuses mainly on quantum mechanics and string theory.
I guess I'll have to read the book in 3-page increments per day in order to prevent my brain from exploding then.
He does a really good job of bringing the material down to a level that can be comprehended by someone without a massive background in physics, though, which is nice :)
Sounds good. I'll pick up a copy sometime.
