Anybody for a Donut....

Just when people finally realized that the Earth isn't flat (well not everyone) this comes out and finally some sanity.

Because who doesn't like a donut? Or if you're a traditionalist, a doughnut.

Does sprinkles count?

Actually it could be another donut. They often come in a package of 12.

Insofar as human beings are a donut (think about it for a bit), it does not surprise me that we now think the rest of the Universe is too.

Cosmology is one of my interests.
It’s not a new theory, but I look forward to reading the “proof”.

I've always viewed the universe as more of a cannoli, or maybe even a nice piece of baklava.

Wrong!

I’m actually the center of the universe and it’s shaped like a taco.

It’s funny you say that, because there are many possible shapes of the universe, if not “flat” and infinite. One is a hyperbolic shape, which looks like a saddle, or a taco. So we could be living in a donut, or a taco universe. Yum!

Flat Earth Society members are fond of pointing out that they have members all around the globe.

Also, I happen to know that our universe is but a single molecule in a giant jar of mayonnaise.

Anybody for a Donut....

Not donuts - chips…
The Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics holds that there are many realities which exist in parallel at the same space and time as our own.

It is not one Universe if you apply the maths to the allegory that many “universes” exist in parallel. To help explain difficult maths - polyverses are akin to this…a multi-folded, red-shifted, computer model.




Yes…we are living in a Universe the size of a pepper spec inside a Cape Cod Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper Kettle Cooked Chip. Because each pepper spec represents another reality the size of ours in the the Polyverse. It’s the same as their folded cloths but taste better and won’t shine your brushed links on your Oyster bracelet.
