Boud, FYI, Tomasz Rożek works not only for Axel Springer. Today (23.02), Gazeta Wyborcza (owned by Agora, a public company) published his popular article on (the lack of) dark energy: http://serwisy.gazeta.pl/nauka/1,34148,3178280.html As we can see Dr. Rożek *can* write pop-science articles which are *not* interviews with scientists. So if he can write on DE using publicly available material (astro-ph/0510453) then why not doing the same w.r.t. the shape of the Universe? -- Andrzej
