And that, my liege, is how we know the world to be banana-shaped

Via Marginal Revolution I find this very puzzling article from the New Scientist which contains speculative evidence that the universe is shaped something like a funnel or straight horn.

They are not sure yet whether this is just a statistical anomaly, but I'll be waiting to hear.

This is nutty. Not only would this imply that the universe is bounded, but moreover at some points it would have finite volume. And then, of course, there's the question of dimensions... Oooh I'm all a-twitter!

At some point, faith, science, and gibberish are indistinguishable.
