Suppose our universe is indeed finite and has the wraparound effect, could it be that there is something outside our universe? And of so, could we somehow be able to get out of our “hall of mirrors” ?

According to Wittgenstein that does not matter. So instead of answering such a question, you should dismiss it.

To be more exact: Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

Read the interview with our famous Dutch writer WF Hermans (yes the same one) who claimed to be the only one to understand Wittgenstein in the book “Filosofie als Science Fiction”. Probably available at “De Slegte” for almost 0 E’s.

The book is from 1968 and this are the details:
Elders, Fons (red.), Aler, J.M.M., Baron van Haersolte, R.A.V., Beerling, R.F. e.a. Filosofie als science-fiction: interviews en een enqu�te; 17 debatten van [Fons Elders] met Nederlandse filosofen. Amsterdam, Polak & Van Gennep, 1968. 452 p.

This guy: http://home.wanadoo.nl/e.zwartboeken/Filosofie.html sells it for 10 E’s
