Universe as Doughnut: New Data, New Debate
NYT March 11, 2003
By DENNIS OVERBYE

Rather than being infinite in all directions, as the most
fashionable theory suggests, the universe could be
radically smaller in one direction than the others. As a
result it may be even be shaped like a doughnut.

"There's a hint in the data that if you traveled far and
fast in the direction of the constellation Virgo, you'd
return to Earth from the opposite direction," said Dr. Max
Tegmark, a cosmologist at the University of Pennsylvania.
