Why this is commonly believed, that data from WMAP probe, brought > down the concept of flat and infinite universe ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model > 3. There are many ideas concerning the shape of the universe. Maybe > it is like a sphere, cylinder, funnel, but it can also be like bell, > horn or dodecahedron. Why do you claim that space is > dodecahedron-like ? http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ksztalt_Wszechswiata > 4. What are the errors or defects of the idea of horn-like space ? http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0403597 > 5. Could you in the very easy way explain the expression, that space > has a shape ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_Universe > 6. Do efforts to establish a shape of the universe have any > practical meaning or you are doing that just to know ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_science > 7. Did universe have a beginning, and ones will have the end ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_fate_of_the_universe
