If the universe is donut shaped, what's outside of it? Sugar sprinkles?

Allegro.cc has the answer: What's outside a donut? (Dizzy Egg) It's definitely that or, ummm, some rapids. You'd have to ride down them in a barrel. And if you fell in, I guess you'd need to jump from bubble to bubble to make it back to the surface. Of course, you could always stop for some kwik snax. [My site] [Tetrominoes] |

There are higher dimensional beings outside the donut, watching us and this forum. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

The donut is balanced on the nose of a turtle, the turtle below that has a donut on its nose. This also explains how there can be more than one universe in existance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ |

The donut is the universe. edit: I'm serious. There is only the donut. There is no outside of the donut, there is no inside of the hole, there is only the donut. edit2: Well. There is also only the coffee cup. The donut and coffee cup are the same. ------------- |

I imagine the fish say the same about the ocean. There are schools of fish that assert the universe is rather spherical They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Outside a donut are the non-free donuts. -- |

Presumably, higher dimensional space. The question is somewhat misleading because it has an assumption that we are 'inside' the donut; instead, we are on its surface, and the donut is a three (four?)-dimensional surface that curves into a torus in higher dimensions. This, of course, presumes that the donut theory is true; I'm not sure of the current scientific thinking on the topology of the universe. -- |

You should be less concerned about what is outside the donut and more concerned about what is with you inside of it. ---- |

Hmm.. seems no one read my post. See here is how i lay it down. Let's do it compy talk. The universe is the set of all things. What is outside the set of all things. NOTHING. It makes no sense such things as outside the set of everything. ------------- |

The universe is all the things WE CAN POSSIBLY GET AT! If you could "jailbreak" it, then you'd get access to the other universes. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

My yolk filled self has lost sleep over this. How can there be....nothing? You mean like the nothing that is eating up the world in the never ending story? I think I've been using Allegro too long...I'm stuck in 2 dimensions, never mind 3....or even 4.

A guy walks accidentally into the kitchen of Arnold's Donuts and sees a big fat guy making jelly rolls. The guy grabs a chunk of dough with his filthy hands, rolls it against his huge, bare, sweaty belly and places it on the oven plate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |
