>The universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were

it's more plausible than space being infinite
>>59670895
How do you figure that?
>>59670910
smoke a bowl and think about it dude
>>59670895
no because we aren't on the surface of the universe like we are on earth, we are in the bulk.

what now u dip?

nigga do u even science

Not that Brock knew about this or anything, but it's poetic on the superficial and metaphorical level.

what is wrong with 'nothing' be infinite? Space is the absence of matter. If the universe is just empty space besides a few little bumps then why can't there be infinite nothing beyond the galaxies? What would even be outside the nothing? More nothing? Advanced nothing?

maybe it won't "be nothing" but just don't exist at all, you know, that one thing human imagination always struggles against (i.e. afterlife)
Pretty quick escalation into scientific debate guys
In all seriousness though, i never get why this line gets made fun of so much, or why i see so many people take that one line literally
Most of issac brocks lyrics are nonsense depressed white trash drug babble, maybe we should question whether or not dogs can actually fly around while we're at it

>scientific debate
haha, but i really wish i could take part in a real scientific debate, maybe not on astrophysics though

Given that space is supposedly continuing to expand, it is an ever-growing sphere. You're correct that traveling straight along the surface of a sphere of constant size will return you to your point of origin, but your logic has two flaws.
1) If the universe is continuing to expand in size, then traveling straight along it will result in you returning to a point that is some distance away from where you started. This distance between your end point and starting point will be proportional to the speed at which the universe is expanding.
2) You are operating under the assumption that you are traveling faster than the universe expands. In this respect, the only way for you to start at a point and transverse the universe before it expands (and thereby results in your displacement from your starting point) is if you can travel from point A to B instantaneously (similar to the premise of Event Horizon).
