If the universe is "closed" like the earth is round, then I can send a
message by light to my left and I have a friend send the same message at
the same time to our right.   Since each of us is in our own inertial frame,
each sees the message proceeding at the speed of light.  However, an observer
at the "other side of the universe" sees my friends message arrive sooner.
Therefore TALKING TO A FRIEND is faster than the speed of light!


Seriously, what's wrong here?
