Doughnut Theory of the Universe The doughnut theory of the universe describes the shape of the universe to be similar to that of a doughnut. The technical name for the geometric shape of a doughnut is a torus. The structure of a torus allows for two ways to perform a loop in the torus: a loop around the outer edge and a loop around the tube of the torus. Therefore, a doughnut shaped universe would allow for two ways to travel in a seemingly straight path and end up at the starting point. The geometry of a torus may also be described algebraically.
The foundation for the doughnut theory started with Bell Lab’s discovery of cosmic microwave background (CMB). With the information provided from the study of CMB, Dr. Alexi Starobinski conceived the doughnut theory of the universe along with his mentor, Dr. Yakov B. Zeldovich, in 1984 from the Landau Institute in Moscow. ^[1] With the study of CMB as the best source for information on the universe’s geometry, NASA launched two explorer satellites, the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) in 1989 and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) in 2001, to map CMB. The information from these satellites led many cosmologists to believe the universe is shaped like a torus.
Despite evidence supporting a finite, torus shaped universe, contradicting theories provide opposing evidence to the doughnut theory. Although neither theory is proven, the Big Bang inflation theory is the most popular and threatening theory to the doughnut theory. The doughnut theory’s finite, torus shaped universe is a complete contradiction to the infinitely expanding Big Bang inflation theory.
