I am curious about the following statement :
Statement : Infinite connected sum of $S^n$ is homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^n.$
Any hint, proof of reference will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Think of a nested countable sequence of $(n-1)$-spheres in $\mathbb R^n$ starting with the unit sphere and going out to $\infty$. The annuli between each sphere are homeomorphic to $S^n$ with two disks removed. So this realizes the infinite connected sum.
