Everything that keeps me together is falling apart

I like Modest Mouse a lot, and admire their incorporation of astronomy into their music, but I find them scientifically inaccurate:
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth, if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
That's not really true. Positively curved spacetime is an idea that has been explored, and this idea, the idea of a geodesic, has been considered, but recent measurment of the acceleration of space taken by contrast to super novas has shown that the rate of acceleration correlates to a model of spacetime with no curvature, infinitely flat.
The interesting thing is that these lyrics could still be partially correct though. Although the universe isn't necessarily shaped like the earth, (and the idea of wrap-around on the earth is wholly two dimensional while universal wrap-around is three dimensional), flat space can still wrap around, so if you go straight you could still end up where you were, the way that old video game screens wrap around.

I think that knowing and thinking too much really kind of ruins things.

I'm starting to become more partial to Morgan's idea that blogs are somewhat signs of self absorption, so I may quit writing as many personal things in here, or writing in here as much. I don't know.
