The Possibilities are Endless

I watched a programme about Maths the other week. Maths being the tool of physics, the programme ended up considering the shape of the universe. They seemed to think that, like pacman, if you go out one side you come back in the other. This, they believed, applies to light as well. So they concluded that one of the stars out there might be a younger version of our sun. I went one step further and considered:

What if millions of the stars out there are younger versions of our sun? What if there are really only about fifty stars in the whole universe, and we are just seeing each one hundreds of times over?

That would be pretty cool. Our Universe is awesome. I mean, it takes recycling to a new level.

"Recycle light, the possible star constellations are endless."
