Shapes, States, and Origins of the Universe
Shape of the Universe
The universe has three possible shapes, but it’s currently believed to be nearly flat. The shape depends on its density relative to a critical density:
- Closed Universe: If the density (k) is greater than the critical density, the universe is closed and finite, like a sphere.
- Hyperbolic Universe: If the density (k) is less than the critical density, the universe is open and infinite, like a saddle.
- Flat Universe: If the density (k) is equal to the critical density, the universe
