It's called a Torus - Wikipedia.I have a question that's been bugging me for years
I don't know how to explain this, it's simple to understand but hard to put in words.....
Imagine a chess board
Imagine you move a piece all the way to the edge of the opposite side, so that it is right at the top of the board
Now imagine you move it forward one space
And it reappears on the opposite edge of the board, right on the bottom of the board, to where it begun at the end of the game, on the same line
Now, imagine you have another piece and you move it to a square that is on the right edge of the board
You then move it one space to the right and it reappears on the left edge of the board, on the same row as it was before you last moved it
As though it has gone all around to the other side and as though the board is in some bizarre way round
What do you call this?
If the chess board works like that, does that mean that it is in effect never ending, as it is circular and has no edges?
Is that a type of infinity, or is it finite? It is at least endless and circular?
Might the universe work like that?
It's edgeless but not infinite. And our universe most probably doesn't work that way but a static universe might.
