The shape of the universe, per new research, could be more complex than previously thought, possibly including exotic structures like a 3-torus.
Lines of sight within a 3-torus form closed loops that return to the viewer, so everything appears to repeat infinitely.
COMPACT is looking to see if they can find a 'detectable topological fingerprint' in the cosmic background radiation that might give a more definite answer.
