text: who thinks universe is oval? ok its a weird question. and i am kind feeling crazy. well earth is oval. so is moon, sun and other planets. so is the solar system. so is the galaxy. any body thinks the universe is oval itself? i too think it somewhat resembles an oblate ellipsoid, especially in so far as the distribution of space.  the matter (galasies) constitute a more oblate ellipsoid within space.  there are certain regions of space devoid of galaxies between each belt of galaxies.  some belts move clockwise and others counterclockwise.  many lesser orbital motions serve to obscure the greater ones.
