Does that rule out worm holes or just wrapping back around if you go far enough

No, the best evidence we have today says the universe is flat.

It's a complicated topic, but Wikipedia sums it up pretty well.

Can't argue with that. Not like flat earthers think that mountains don't exist.

Damn, I love seeing comments where people change their mind with more info.

I TOO thought it had to be malarkey, and then got existentially panicked, and then read the proposed theories about why and am less existentially aware. Universe is big, man, weird shit, and now it's kind of in a pizza dough shape? Wild.
