I once heard that the shape of the universe was of a bow tie?

Can you clerify this?
Actually nrao_kid, I heard Einstein believed this theory.... my source is the Discovery Channel....

I don't think anyone can know that for sure...no matter what scientists say, there are just SOME things that cannot be explained...ya know?

[Anthony Spears]

Nobody knows what the shape of the universe is. There are hypothesis that it might be spherical, donut-shaped, saddle-shaped, or it could be like a pac-man screen where it loops from one side to the next.

Not true. It is a globe and sligtly flattened at the poles.
