      Hi thomg003
      So you wanted to know what shape the universe is… well, nobody knows for sure, but there are cosmologists working in this field to try to figure it out. It could be a sphere, or it could be a sort of opened out sphere (like a saddle shape), or is could be flat. I’m not a cosmologist though, and I never got my head round topology either so I’m afraid I can’t give you a much better answer than that. 🙁 Sorry to disappoint….
