    Could someone explain to a noob why the known universe is a cylinder (that even contains right angles) and why the centrepoint of the cylinder was picked to be where it is? (Is that where earth is?)

      It’s a map of the area and is not the whole universe. A cylinder is a reasonable way to depict the local area and putting our main reference point in the middle makes sense.

    For whatever reason this post lead me to reminisce upon the old canceled game 0x10c.
