Abstract: Some global topological as well as quantative arguments are given, indicating that our universe is most probably compact, multiply connected and without boundaries. The analysis leading to this tentative conclusion is based on a combination of Nash Euclidean embedding theorems, the local isomorphism theorem, cosmic crystallography and the theory of fractal-Cantorian spacetime. It is shown that the correct topological dimension D=4 of space is derived from the Euclidean embedding of spacetime quanta when the corresponding manifold is assumed to be compact. This and other conclusions regarding multi-connectivity seems to reinforce the findings of relatively recent research results on topological cosmology by Luminet et al. (see Nature 425;9 Oct. 2003:593–95).
