A New Study Suggests We’ve Got It All Wrong* *When researchers reanalyzed the gold-standard data set of the early universe, they concluded that the cosmos must be “closed,” or curled up like a ball. Most others remain unconvinced.* https://www.quantamagazine.org/what-shape-is-the-universe-closed-or-flat-20191104/ (It isn't clear what curvature parameter is being estimated.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model : In the minimal 6-parameter Lambda-CDM model, it is assumed that curvature {\displaystyle \Omega _{k}}\Omega_k is 0 possible extensions of the simplest ΛCDM model allow for spatial curvature ({\displaystyle \Omega _{tot}}\Omega _{{tot}} may be different from 1 @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
