Though, thinking about it, if you take the Earth, and you walk, and walk, and walk, and walk, and walk, you will never come to the end of the Earth and fall off. That's because you're covering 3D space in 2D directions. Maybe space somehow becomes a 4D torus or sphere, where you can only cover 3D movements, so you can never travel in that 4th direction to escape. But then... there IS another way to go off the Earth... even if there weren't, there would still be stuff there... or, more correctly, the absence of stuff... oh, forget it!
this i agree with, because it makes sense. We did think the world was flat for a long time, and a bunch of people still didnt believe it wasn't until we figured our how to travel UP and off the planet. but don't they say that the 4D is time? if time travel were possible could you use it to "escape our space"? (not like that shitty timetravel cliché where you can go back in time and change things, that would make so many paradoxes it wouldnt work)
[i]So I crawled from the twisted, burnin' wreckage
I crawled on my hands and knees for three full days
Draggin' along my big leather suitcase and my garment bag
And my tenor saxophone and my twelve-pound bowling ball
And my lucky lucky autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel
