previous theory was that the universe was infinite in size and unbounded, aka flat universe

current news suggest that the universe is finite- not by a wall or a limit, but if you went far enough in one direction, you would end up looping back to wear you started. essentially, it's like travelling around a sphere in which you'd end up going around it back to where you started... except in 3d

neat/concerning, no?

it's like an integer overflow/underflow in position.

If the universe is closed and finite that's incredibly scary.

It means there is literally no escape.

its not like we were going to be able to escape anyways

i mean the previous theory meant that the devs were building the world faster than people can experience it, so i think they were doing a good job regardless

step outside the universe and you get a message on your screen that tells you you have 10 seconds to return to the playable area
