Just found this CNN article where measured cosmic radioactivity seems
to indicate the universe is pill-shaped:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/1...ill/index.html

Now, I've just come to grips with the concept of the universe being
infinite and expanding out of a Big...Expanding like "raisin bread" or
an infinitely thick skin of a balloon.

Now this pill-shaped thing? I can't reconcile this in my mind.

Could someone help me understand how both of these can be true, or
whether one theory undermines the other?

Thanks!
