“人们可以想象，由于天文经验的巨大扩展，整个宇宙由无数个相同的银河系副本组成，无限的空间可以被分割成立方体，每个立方体都包含一个完全相同的银河系副本。我们真的会坚持假设同一个世界有无限多个相同的重复吗？我们更愿意接受这样的观点，即这些重复是虚幻的，在现实中，空间具有特殊的连接属性，因此，如果我们从一个立方体的一边离开，那么我们会立即从另一边重新进入它。”（史瓦西1900翻译1998）
“One could imagine that as a result of enormously extended astronomical experience, the entire universe consists of countless identical copies of our Milky Way, that the infinite space can be partitioned into cubes each containing an exactly identical copy of our Milky Way. Would we really cling on to the assumption of infinitely many identical repetitions of the same world?… We would be much happier with the view that these repetitions are illusory, that in reality space has peculiar connection properties so that if we leave any one cube through a side, then we immediately reenter it through the opposite side.” (Schwarzschild 1900 translation 1998)
