Laugh it up, but he might be right. I'm pretty sure there were theorys that dimensions fold over each other, like pieces of paper, you get to the edge and you come out back at the start.TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

Subjects like this kinda .. depress me in a way. I mean what's the point of me getting up at 7AM to go to school, when all I'm doing is travelling 0.1x10^-999999999999999% of the known universe to go to a school to learn what the only race we know of has come up with as solid truths. Why don't I just go out and have fun, considering I'm so insignificant.
