>From inside this model of the universe, you supposedly cannot see (or
go) outside. Light approaching the boundary connects back inside
somewhere else and so do all paths of moving objects. Besides,
whether or not you can observe to any of the boundaries depends on
where you are, inside the universe, and how far out from that point
you can observe. So, to an observer inside such a universe, there are
only very subtle clues that this is the form. The elliptical
appearance of the blobs of microwave energy coming toward us from all
directions would be one of those clues (so they say).
