What's outside of the donut? More donuts? Is the donut in a box with other donuts?

Is it a cake donut? Or is it filled?

The donut - or as Hawking described it, a balloon - is just a construct to help understand it. If you're a two-dimensional being, the universe is like the surface of a balloon - and *just* the surface. It doesn't "begin" or "end", it just folds back on itself.

You don't run into a wall, but find no matter how far you go in any direction, you're back where you started again.

So it's true. "Where ever you are, there you are."
