On the Finiteness and Shape of the Universe

Authors: Warren D. Smith

This is the last of a 3-part series of papers on "the shape of the universe" and includes summary of the prior two. At the end is a chart allowing you to choose your favorite set of assumptions (from among those we consider) whereupon it tells you the conclusions deducible from those assumptions about the topology of the universe. This and the prior papers also includeddiscussion of "reasons the universe is 3-dimensional." As far as I know my analyses of these matters go considerably beyond all others; but quite possibly if "real topologists" got involved then considerably more could be said.

Comments: 31 Pages. Paper on internet since 2004, now uploaded to VIXRA for archival purposes.
