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.

If you consider the expansion of the universe, this will not happen.

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!"

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...

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, 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.

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"

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"

seemingly silly statement actually be correct.

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

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

Here "flat" is a technical term meaning that the Riemann curvature

Sure.

My use of "flat" does not imply 2 dimensions, as you seem to think.
Indeed it can apply to manifolds of any dimension greater than 1.

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.

There is nothing (no thing) into which space is expanding. This is an
expansion of the entire universe, so there can be nothing outside of it.

The question makes no sense, as nothing (no thing) cannot be measured or
recorded.

No. In physics it is generalizing and abstracting from measurements to a
more general set of mathematical relationships among appropriate quantities.

Not at all! Science is the process of formulating models of the world we
inhabit, testing them via experiment, and improving them successively to
be more accurate and/or cover a wider domain of applicability.

I can't believe what I'm reading here, on this platform, in this forum. It
has to be another paradox. Your "nothing" stands for the ABSENCE of time
and space. You can't expand anything along that.

13.8 billion years ago, everything in the (subjectively) Known Universe
was in the same location; i.e. zero entropy and infinite density/exergy.
[ eXergy is a type of energy that can do physical work, force * distance ]

Eventually, this eXergy will be consumed away, replaced with entropy;
leaving us with a uniform heat bath that has all of the energy
but none of the eXergy.

Gravity is the "memory" of where the stuff was.

All of history, every lesson ever, every advance, tells us:
Randomness is ignorance, nothing more.

General Relativity's four dimensional TimeScape is static, eternal,
perfectly causal... it is, at once, everything _and_ nothing.

In our current cosmological models, space is NOT "expanding into nothing", it is
just expanding. There is no "into" or "along", just expansion -- an intrinsic
increase in size.

This is different from any ordinary expansion. When you blow up a balloon, it
clearly expands into the surrounding air. Geometrically, the balloon is embedded
in the 3-d space containing the air and balloon. But the geometry of the
universe is QUITE different -- it is not embedded in anything (any manifold).

Please note I am discussing our MODELS. But, of course, models
are all we can discuss....

Unbelievable stupid question to be read. Moreover, the universe is not a
balloon, not having the boundaries of a balloon, and that balloon analogy
went already to far. But to fool the unaware, it makes probably sense.

Non sequitur.

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?

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]):

<https://youtu.be/7ImvlS8PLIo?t=3454>

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)

Incorrect. Our current cosmological models *include* the possibility of a

Wrong. The "nothing at all" does NOT exist, which is the whole point.

Wrong. See above.

Wrong. It is YOUR misinterpretation which makes no sense.

The _ACTUAL_ model makes perfect sense to those who understand it. But
the English language cannot express the concepts adequately [#]. So
people like yourself, who depend entirely on language to "understand"
the mathematical models of physics, are doomed to failure. The math is
ESSENTIAL to understand the modern models/theories of physics.

[#] Indeed there is no "nothing at all" of my first
paragraph above. This illustrates the basis of the
difficulty with the language -- using any linguistic
referent is wrong, because there is nothing to refer to.
The paragraph must be unwritten, the question must be
unasked (see: _Goedel,_Escher,_Bach_ by D. Hofstadter).

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
is infinite in extent given that infinity is the only thing that can
expand without limit and still remain the same size (infinite).

So that which does not exist cannot have properties! Now we really ARE
starting to get some

Right. I'm an idiot because I didn't understand that "nothing at all"
actually does not exist. Now that I"m straightened out, it's all falling
into place.

So, Therefore we have arrived at your "proof" that the universe is
clearly infinite and also that mathematics is more real than reality.

Well, now, isn't that some progress!

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
philosophizing while you are losing all sights of the physics
involved.
Cool!. Carry on.

If you need an interpreter to demonstrate that to you, better get yourself
a proper education, old days. Not remote online and shit.

so, where there is no gravity,
there is no memory where stuff is,
it is Lost in Space.

randomness is a human concept, only humans decide what is random.

Gravity is SpaceTime, the 4D TimeScape; it's everywhere, always.

Wrong. Gravity is the curvature of spacetime, caused by mass-energy
present.

Where/When is there no Energy/Matter ?

Einstein wrote:

Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.

13.8 billion years ago, everything in the (subjectively) Known Universe
was in the same location; i.e. zero entropy and infinite density/exergy.
