   bismillahi rahmani raheem,

Quran, 21:104 And (remember) the Day when We shall roll up the heavens
like a scroll rolled up for books, as We began the first creation, We
shall repeat it, (it is) a promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do
it.

wow...
now i can imagine how rolling up the heavens like a scroll that will
be, albeit still with limited knowledge. still, this is interesting.
wallahu a'lam.

	Bismillah, Interesting discussion. I do believe that Kim is a fine name. Definitely a keeper!

	I believe that there are many plausible theories that point to the shape of the universe. If we look back in time many great Astrophysicist and philosophers though that the universe was spherical. Einstein too, thought that the universe too as well could be spherical. Now you have new theories that could be spherical. My question is how can you know the shape of something that extends to ad infinitum? If anything the universe is in the shape of square because since the Big Bang I believe that all of existence spread in three-dimensional direction.

	salam israfil, i think a square doesn't seem like it -- coz surely the corners expand faster than then rest? still i don't know, i just thought that. i much like the sphere & trumpet, as most everything in the universe is somewhat rounded, & the spread is more evenly distributed.
