I am confounded as to why only the Poincare Dodecahedral Space is
finite?
Why not a cubic Space or Icosahedral Space enclosed in a sphere be
finite?

Luminet says in one of his reports that only about 50 scientist and
mathematicians
know about Physics-topology. I guess he is right about that.

My question is why does the dodecahedron have this special trait for
being finite?
Why cannot the cube or icosahedron enclosed in sphere be finite also?
Does it
have to do with manifolds? or with Group theory?
