Thrown for a loop: Paradigm-shifting study claims universe is a closed ring, not flat
Astrophysicists are known for mind-bending theories that are often too difficult for mere mortals to understand but new research suggesting the universe is actually a closed loop really takes the cake… or, erm, the donut?

An international team of astronomers led by Eleonora Di Valentino of Manchester University pored over a trove of data released last year by the European Space Agency’s Planck satellite.

Contrary to the popular belief that the universe is flat, Di Valentino and her team came to the conclusion that the universe is, in fact, a curved, closed and inflating sphere, in what she dubbed a “cosmological crisis” that warrants a “drastic rethinking of the current cosmological concordance model.”

Perhaps the researchers watched this episode of the Simpson's from over 20 years ago.

Hawking tells Homer that he'll steal his idea of a Donut Shaped Universe...He wasn't joking.

Flat universe tards? How the fuck would the big bang come out flat?

Re: Thrown for a loop: Paradigm-shifting study claims universe is a closed ring, not flat
I've long tried to convince people that the shape of the universe is best described as a Vortex. Considering the frequency of the Vortex's appearance in nature, it didn't seem like the idea would be controversial.

Nevertheless, in a world where private agendas are prioritized above understanding and advancement, I've accepted that many people will hold fast to the beliefs that put money in their pockets and work to destroy anything that threatens that; sort of like what the Catholic Church was accused of doing to Copernicus.

If there is validity to the theory; however, everyone that holds to invalid beliefs will ultimately fall behind and ultimately cease to exist as a relevant authority. It's their choice.

the first question I would ask about the 'flat' universe is: "How many times have you encountered a flat object in nature?"

The answer would be zero...flat things are not real.

the second question I would ask councerns the Vortex: "How many examples of a Vortex can you recall appearing in nature?"

The answer would be many, they are very common.

A Torus. I knew it!!!


You know. It's funny. I am all about science but what often cracks me up is that the scientific community will not even entertain well substantiated but unproven ideas, until someone actually can provide some proof.

I remember many conversations I had with a highly educated astronomer where I always brought theories/explanations I was researching which were all false in his opinion, but over the years, many of these theories turned out to be true or are currently being researched because it somehow gained traction.

Theories like holographic universe, entanglement, and the donut/torus universe.


I forgot the name but there is this great astronomy forum with highly educated people on it who are also helping students doing astronomy. It is not even allowed to post theories that are not mainstream, proven, and educated in schools.

Yes the universe is indeed a donut ... or in scientific terms, a torus as others have pointed out above. The universe is the same shape as all other entities in the universe ... from the smallest quark or atom to the largest stars and galaxies. The geometric shape and function of these entities is a Torus. It is the shape by which eletromagnetic energy flows in a cyclic manner. Although earth or our sun looks like a solid ball ... if you look at magnetic fields around these objects ... they are indeed a Torus.
