If the universe were finite and smaller than the distance to thethe
"surface of last scattering" (the place in deep space from whence comes
cosmic microwaves and that constitutes the edge of the visibleuniverse),
then multiple images should show up in the microwave background.distance
OK it doesn't sound as though the list is better off than me. But
at least please explain how the Universe can be "smaller" than the
to the edge of the visible universe. Does this mean that the"universe"
does not contain within it the place in deep space whence ("fromwhence" is
illiterate) comes the cosmic microwaves? Or does not contain the
space outside this region?
Oh, I have it; there is no space outside the universe whence come
cosmic waves. Nuts!
