There were stars on the other side, so it can't be the inside of a sphere... but then, the lead Thor tells us there are stars on the side that has Doomgard too, so that can't be the inside of a sphere either. But yeah, it wraps around on the sides....
Maybe we'll be able to tell when somebody draws a panel showing the view from Knowhere.
Yes, it is. I think there's a lot of things tied up with the intangibles like faith in god, believing a story etc.
edited to add. And when it comes to the power of story, who had more of it that Marvel's launching pad comic the Fantastic Four? Doom probably is the most storied character in the MU along with the FF themselves. They're going be major players I suspect. We just haven't seen where they all ended up yet.

There's no guarantee that the 'stars' are the same as on the real world, burning balls of gas billions upon billions of miles away. In fact, we know this most likely is not the case, since Battleworld and all on it is supposed to be the only thing in existence. The stars (and the 'suns') could be tiny little things.
This issue made me laugh out loud. It was like Prince Valiant mixed with that Adventure Time episode when the Ice King wrote fanfiction and wanted it to come to life but then regretted it.

There are no more Incursions happening, though... so what's to say Franklin isn't perfectly capable of creating new universes, even if he couldn't prevent the collisions of the old ones? Or Wiccan pulling a similar stunt once he comes into his own as the Demiurge?
For all we know, at the moment of the final Incursion, as Franklin's section of the raft seems to disintegrate, that's Doom pulling him away to join him, and Doom using his accumulated power to create the Battleworld from the Incursion zones he's been saving (perhaps that was what was in the well that shocked Strange?), while Franklin created a single physical universe in which to place it. With only a single universe, there can be no further Incursions, since there are no other universes with which to collide.
That was the length of the fuse, yes, but 25 years have not passed in the MU since the Molecule Man was created. If they had, then Peter Parker would be 40. Is he 40? If not, then it can't have been 25 years.
Also, the Incursions were not the product of that fuse reaching its end, remember... it's down to Doom causing the multiversal collapse early and piece meal by assassinating Molecule Men.
True, but even if they're tiny little stars pretty close by, they're still not on Battleworld... and neither is Knowhere. So the statement that Battleworld is the only thing in existence simply isn't correct regardless. It might be the only place where people live (well, except Knowhere), or the only thing that matters... but there is other stuff.
Did 616 Storm show up?
Of all the other writers @ Marvel sofar Ewing does seem to be the one most "bought in" to Hickman's concepts. Seems like Bendis (especially) and the others are just sort of ignoring whats going on in the buildup to Secret War. I would not be surprised to find some discontent there in feeling that everyone's books more or less are being editorally forced into an end of the world 8 months out.
