β | + | OK, Dgbrt, you clearly know more about the universe's curvature than I do. Now, would you be so kind as to actually explain that rather than play tug-of-war with the incomplete tags? [[Special:Contributions/199.27.128.65|199.27.128.65]] 23:41, 25 February 2014 (UTC) | |
β | I | + | I took a shot at it. Good enough to remove the incomplete tag? [[User:LogicalOxymoron|LogicalOxymoron]] ([[User talk:LogicalOxymoron|talk]]) 23:22, 12 March 2014 (UTC) |

+ | Should it be noted that a normal boomerang (a weapon) is not supposed to return? Only a returning boomerang (a toy) returns. [[User:Tharkon|Tharkon]] ([[User talk:Tharkon|talk]]) 00:47, 14 July 2014 (UTC) | ||

+ | The title text does not mean the Big Crunch, but merely the fact, that a closed Universe is finite. It's like a surface of a sphere (2D analogy for a 3D world). If you go in one direction for a long time, you make a complete circle and return to the point where you started, but from the opposite direction - hence "the boomerang hits him in the back of the head". If it was a Big Crunch, the boomerang is not guaranteed to come from the back. | ||
