The Shape of the Universe.

There seems to be a question whether the universe if flat or curved.

The answer is very simple..the universe is both flat and curved.

If you go very fast in one direction at eye level...you will return and

see the back of your head. Because the universe is curved.

But the flat part of the curved universe can easily be seen...

if you look down, or go down you will quickly hit the floor of the universe...and

if you go up, you can touch the top of the universe.

But if you move at eye level straight, it curves.

But here is the catch..

in order to get pass the curvature of the universe to get pass the curvature..where

the universe is infinite, you need to get pass the curvature 'ring' of the universe.

Just simply picture a medium size pizza (with pepperoni) inside a very large infinite size pizza flat box.

It's not sci-fi...I'm baseing it on...Observation! When the big bang occured, and sent all the stars and rocks in
equally different directions..outwards..it formed a circle.

The edge of the circle (i call the ring curvature) is the curvature of the universe...but
beyond the ring..is the ocean flow of the tide of the infinte universe...the flat infinite universe.

I guess you guys can only see up to the...ring.

You see the back of the head because of the 'ring'.

It goes around in a curve...

I'm from New York...you drive around the curve..


you get into the car and you drive at the edge of the pizza pie

you tell your wife, "Drive around the curve."

She'll say, "We're back where we started!" "WE GOING IN CIRCLES, DUMNASS!!"



The ring, the curve is.. is the edge of gravity.

Beyond the ring...there is no gravity, just more space.


The big bang did not create space...it expanded to more space.


It knocked down the wall and got a bigger office...


it's called, "We're expanding!"

How do you go around a circle if the ring is expanding greater then light

The ring is caused by the force of gravity. No matter where you are
standing...it's curved.



It can be a large pizza, medium size pizza, small size pizza...it circle
all the way down.


And I don't see what effect the speed of light has if i go around any
circle...

Earth goes around in circles...it doesn't need the speed of light..

Why don't you explain how Earth goes around in circles if the ring is expanding greater then light

Yes, it is clearly the edge of the universe...but I wrote already:


"The big bang did not create space...it expanded to more space." That means..


that which yous call the big bang is actually your universe...encircled,

inside the pizza box!!!!

The pizza box is the 'steady state universe'..and inside is your...pizza! (that which you call the big bang is your encircled universe, the actual pizza)


Now, I must add, Albert Einstein believed in the 'steady state universe' but, but..he had a problem...


it didn't fit his relativity theory...so he changed the facts to fit his theory.

He just made a mistake, that's all. I'm correcting his mistake!

He shoulda just said the big bang occured *inside* the steady state universe.

Instead, he threw out the 'steady state' to fit his theory.


You know...what Einstein always said, 'If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.'



Your job today is to correct the mistakes others have made in the past...and you move forward.

You got your...timeline of events wrong. Einstein came out with steady state in 1931, and relativity in 1905 and 1915.

and yous people got this "red-shift" allllll wrong..

it's not caused by rapid expanion..

it simply losing energy.

And if you know your Colors, Red is the first to go when energy is lost...


the further the sistance...the more red you lose.

It simply...fading.


NOT STUPID RAPID EXPANSION!

I do not think so,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant

"Einstein included the cosmological constant as a term in his field
equations for general relativity because he was dissatisfied that otherwise
his equations did not allow, apparently, for a static universe: gravity
would cause a universe that was initially at dynamic equilibrium to
contract. To counteract this possibility, Einstein added the cosmological
constant"

There seems to be a question whether the universe if flat or curved.
The answer is very simple..the universe is both flat and curved.
If you go very fast in one direction at eye level...you will return and
see the back of your head. Because the universe is curved.
But the flat part of the curved universe can easily be seen...
if you look down, or go down you will quickly hit the floor of the universe...and
if you go up, you can touch the top of the universe.
But if you move at eye level straight, it curves.
But here is the catch..
in order to get pass the curvature of the universe to get pass the curvature..where
the universe is infinite, you need to get pass the curvature 'ring' of the universe.
Just simply picture a medium size pizza (with pepperoni) inside a very large infinite size pizza flat box.
Please clarify exactly what you mean by the universe being curved. The planet Earth is curved. The Moon is curved. Women are curved.
The pizza in the box is curved all around.

Didn't you bother to look into the box?

Faker, this is utter babbling drool. You are NEVER going to have a clue
about science and math.You just babble one like Mitch figuring that if
you can make as little sense as possible people will mistake it for the
hard to understand theories of Einstein. Sorry, Faker but people who
understand science will spot your babble right away. The only people you
are fooling are people dumber than yourself. (which isn't many)

The Universe means by definition EVERYTHING, so it doesn't have a
shape, in any reasonable sense.

If e.g. you say it's a sphere, then outside the sphere is by
definition also part of the universe, hence the whole has no shape.

Well, 'these people' in the scientific community view the universe as everything in the big bang.

I cannot get pass their...groupthink mentality. I have to work with it...it's first grade science.

I'll lose them if I start teaching second grade science...


The only thing they understand is...pizza.



Now class...i got a slice of pizza in my hand, it has a curve on it...

Yes, this is so, in a way you clearly do not realize or understand. This happens
because you speak so loosely, without specifying what you mean by "the universe"
-- that ambiguity can sensibly be interpreted two ways, which makes this
seemingly silly statement actually be correct.

In our current best cosmological models, spaceTIME is curved, but space is flat.

How can space possibly be "flat"??

Seems to me, here on Earth, I can go North-South, and I can go East-West
and I can go Up-Down ... three dimensions!!

In the Milky Way Galaxy, one day I might be able to go directly towards
the Galaxy Centre, or follow our spiral arm, or go up, out of the
Galactic disk .... three dimensions!!

And other Galaxies aren't all in the same plane ... three dimensions!!

And, of course, the Universe is expanding ... in all directions ...
three dimensions!!

Based on my observations...that which you call the big bang..the stars spread out in all directions because the top was flat and
they had to go in all directions because they needed to spread out some more.

Down...is where they came from. Up is where they went. But, there was was not much room Up, so they went
this way and that way....that which you call...spread out.

I mean, really...if you go inside a pizza box...there is not much room up or down. It's flat!

The pizza is flat! The box it comes in is flat!!

No. At least not in the usual modeling of the world as a 4-d Lorentzian
manifold. In such a model, we analysts are outside the model [#], and we can
(necessarily) examine the model at any time or place (where those words refer to
time and place in the model, not our analysts' world). So over analysts' time
the model is fixed (i.e. not 'expanding').

[#] Even if we are modeling the universe we inhabit. We humans
cannot possibly be part of the model, but we are part of the
universe.

This is the origin of the MISLEADING and PUNFUL claim "nothing moves in
spacetime". That phrase conflates time in the model to time to us analysts. Yes,
as analysts' time advances the model does not change (or 'move'). But for
objects in the universe being modeled, motion certainly is possible.

Back to the original issue: to us in the universe, space is expanding over time.
But it makes no sense to claim "time is expanding", so our universe is expanding
in 3 dimensions, not 4.

Not true, because there might not be only “*the* universe”.

*Our* universe could be part of, and expanding into, a multiverse, where
there are other universes; but while there are theories that predict this
(WMAP/ “Planck”-supported inflation theory being one of them), there is no
experiment yet that confirmed it.

One difficulty of an experiment is that those other universes would be
moving away from ours faster than the speed of light (Lawrence Krauss at
AAI, 2009 [1]):



However, *if* there is a multiverse, then we must assume that *it* is not
expanding into anything.

See also: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse>

(the “Proponents and Skeptics” section features remarkable lists for both
categories)

Not expanding into anything. It's just getting bigger.

Today there is more space than there was yesterday, so there's more room
between things. Over short distances forces such as gravity overcome
that increasing separation, making it more difficult to observe. Over
long distances they don't, making it much easier to observe.

Why is that so difficult?

Hey, now you are starting to make sense. so the expansion is into that
which does not exist which we must not term nothing at all!
Of course this is only possible mathematically speaking if the universe

Maybe our experience of time is just our moving along on the skin of an

But it makes no sense to claim "time is expanding", so our universe is expanding
in 3 dimensions, not 4.
Maybe our experience of time is just our moving along on the skin of an
unfurling time dimension.
AFAIK, there are some more, tightly curled up.
Wortatrappen.

Word mockups.

Nobody knows what "curled up" means in Real World.

Hallo Daniel60,

And, of course, the Universe is expanding ... in all directions ...
three dimensions!!
ahem - 4?
How can time be the fourth dimension if every dimension has time?

Ah, space is "expanding" into the "nothing at all" that exists around
space, right?
Wrong. The "nothing at all" does NOT exist, which is the whole point.
To put it another way, "Existence" is expanding. There is no outside
because the expansion isn't "into" something. The expansion itself creates
the very possibility of there BEING something.

because "Benj" got you guys really going with your splendid

involved.
Cool!. Carry on.

Add-on: hanson CITED and QUOTED:
Listen up, you splendid Philosophers, your dreams
are at least 70 years old re-warmed stale tripe.
Here is a current Schmuck whose fantasy will
make your Beytsim fall off due do his insistence
that the universe expands with super-luminal speeds
with White Holes:
"... the outer edges of the universe moving
faster than the speed of light"...
<http://bigthink.com/philip-perry/how-is-the-universe-moving-faster-than-the-speed-of-light?utm_>
and its gets even better because the philosopher says:
"Black holes can’t say that they might be the answer to where so much of the
dark matter in the universe is lurking. So, "Bye, black holes: white holes
are even weirder
