We say that all matter was concentrated to a single point only because we have calculated that BACKWARDS from space we observe today. There is no reason to believe space was not larger than a point at the moment of the big bang and that the big bang occurred everywhere with the space simply forever beyond our cosmic horizon.

    ok, just to avoid the confusion, flatness of space does NOT mean the space is like a 2 dimensional plane... the idea of flatness comes from the fact that we are measuring the angles of a triangle on the EDGE of the observable universe. In other words, all it says is that the triangle we are measuring is flat! Hence, all we can conclude is that universe is immensely huge (loosely speaking, sth like a sphere with infinite radius)! basically another confirmation that our universe is almost limitless... so please avoid using the term flatness over here. Instead, the more accurate thing to say is that the EDGE of observable universe is flat.

    Yunpeng Liu That’s an interesting question. I think the answer may be no. If you consider the tools which we have on earth, which is a curved surface where we exist and seems like a reasonably analogous to living in a curved universe, then you can see that the tools which we have are able to measure the curvature of the earth. If you want a way that you can test that at home, take a globe and choose any three points on the globe. If you draw the shortest line between each of the points and create a triangle, then you can use a protractor and measure the internal angles and sum them in the same way shown in the video. While an impractical method for us to use on the earth, it should still scale if you get creative.

    @@joshuareich580 Yes and you are right, but only in limited cases, which in your example is measuring 2D using 3D tool. Imagine you only have a perfectly flat protractor with mathematically 0 meter thickness and it only dwells on our earth surface which also has height of perfect 0. Then you can only have a "curved tool" as so to speak since the hosting space is curved. Would you know that the three angles together are more than 180 degrees? I guess not, because a 46 degree in 3D matches 46 degree angle perfectly in 2D but your tool reads 45 degree. Our world is exactly in that situation. We are using 3D to measure 3D, but we can only see the curvature when we jump to 4D. Hope I articulated well.

Thus, we know that any possible limitation of measuring curvature due to being "in" the curvature will not affect our ability to calculate whether or not the space we live in is curved.

    @@suwuliu5232 It is perhaps hard to visualise but we can in fact measure curvature without worrying about our tools being too curved. The usual way to explain this is using geodesics and triangles but it is hard to see why this avoids the problem you describe. We can solve this by thinking a little more mathematically though. The Gaussian curvature of a surface is intrinsic meaning it depends only on the surface itself and not on any larger space we embed the surface into. Similarly for any "pseudo-Riemannian" manifold (such as space-time) we can define an appropriate idea of curvature that depends on the "pseudo-Riemannian" metric. Put simply, this metric is how we measure angles on the manifold and it is a infinitesimal tool (that is, it acts on the tangent space, which is flat). TL;DR: We measure angles on a flat space tangent to the manifold and so the tools don't have to be curved.

    But as the universe is expanding, this density should change constantly, right ? so a few billion years ago, it was not flat - because the density of the universe was higher - and a few billion years later, it won't be flat anymore ? If this is the case, it's strange that I've never heard this reasoning before.

    It's not really the matter density that's relevant; it's just easier to understand, given that we're made of matter. What's relevant is the energy density, which includes matter, radiation, dark matter, and dark energy. And as the universe has expanded, it has come to be dominated by dark energy. That's kept the energy density constant.

    I don't think that's what is being portrayed in the video. I think the video's definition of expansion is extension, as in the dimensions of space are growing. This is in contrast to a stretch, where the matter inside space would also "expand", but I don't think this is what was meant in the video.

    It's not the density that decides the curvature. What was used in this video with 4, 5, or 6 atoms was an example. Basically what it is is if there was 20% more or less matter in the universe the curvature would be different. Honestly using the example they did just causes confusion.

    Niels Rasmussen He's talking about curves with respect to the path of an undisrupted object. It would actually be counter intuitive to think that an object could essentially accelerate without an external force being applied to it, so we are essentially taught this principle from a very early stage in physics studies. The implications of space curvature are very interesting though. Imagine if you could permanently change an attribute of a finite region space so that the trajectory of objects passing through it is always predetermined.

    Inflation is an as of yet unproven hypothesis. To claim that it is fact or the correct answer is putting the cart before the horse. There are also several other hypotheses that match what we know thus far and as such are equally likely. They are also exclusionary. We need more observation and experimentation before we can build a sound theory for the flatness or expansion problem.

    It's expanding internally. There is no outside to expand into. It's not like a balloon filling up, it's like the surface of a balloon stretching. If you draw two dots on a balloon and inflate it, the distance between the dots increases, but it's an increase in the internal distance of the balloon surface, not an increase into something.

    Could this be interpreted as evidence for multiverse theory? If life (or, at least, life advanced enough to develop sufficient intelligence to measure this sort of thing) is most likely to exist in flat universes, then the fact that we are in one for no discernible reason might indicate that there's numerous differently-curved universes out there and we're experiencing a cosmological form of survivorship bias. Of course, that's a big if, and it's one that I don't have the background to really argue in any compelling way, but at an intuitive level it seems at least plausible, and if we can demonstrate that it's true then that might give us a framework through which to approach this question.

    In addition, there is no way for us to know if we really viewed a significant portion of the universe, or we simply measured a small small area that therefore makes the universe seem flat, in a similar way that a triangle 100m wide would show the earth to be flat, while a triangle 2000km wide would prove it to be round.

    That's why they say 'it seems to be', we may never know for sure. I mean we know that locally it's curved, also there is that Great Attractor drawing entire galaxies towards itself, so terms like local are on a whole different scale in spacetime. Who knows, maybe things work the other way around, and our universe "wants" to flatten, and that's the reason of the apparent perfect density, and not just some cosmic coincidence. Also, there is a chance that we got the wrong idea of something, did the wrong calculations based on that idea, and a lot of things we know might be simply wrong. Or maybe we are on the right track, but miss some crucial information. There is a whole slew of possibilities, luckily science is relentless.

    Actually it is the hypothesis of inflation. There are many competing hypotheses about the early universe and how to explain what we see and why. We need more evidence before any of these can be a testable and predictable theory.

    Nestrislia Crystal how does the Anthropic Principle go against atheists? If anything, it totally removes the necessity for a god to exist for us to exist, and then we can apply Occam’s Razor, meaning that it’s more probable that the universe just came out of nothing than an arbitrary god coming out of nothing and then creating the universe.

    In other words, the anthropic principle + many worlds interpretation. My hypothesis is that the net energy in the universe is zero. We started with nothing, but nothingness can split into positive and negative energy (like quantum foam). No matter how much you split zero into positive and negative matter/energy, we still get a flat universe. We would just be occupying the portions of space in which positive matter just happened to never cancel out with the negative. Antimatter could easily be repelled by gravity, dispersing into deep space.

    What if, extra curvature in space causes anti matter to become transformed into an undetectable for of matter, stopping regular matter from becoming annihilated. Causing space to constantly balance itself toward a flat state while explaining both dark matter and why there exists more matter than anti matter. I must be right, I'm some random guy on the internet giving an off the cuff guess.

Take in account that curvature of space does not make two particles uncollidable, otherwise it would be a very radical property of space that remains undiscovered and would require a theory compatible with current knowledge, plus any missing positive evidence for whatever such theory predicts. Furthermore, you should already know that in it's verbatim sense, "undetectable" is a concept science is not anyhow interested, if that's what you meant.

    I'm struggling with that concept of having the perfect amount of mass/energy. Assuming our universe is indeed flat and infinite, imagine somehow enough matter/energy was added everywhere to positively curve spacetime. According to the example, that would mean spacetime is a closed surface, but it "started" so-to-speak as an infinite surface. I know adding infinite mass/energy suddenly is obviously not possible, but mathematically speaking it seems (to me anyway) that it would change from flat and infinite to curved and finite. I just don't understand how that would work. It's like a circle with one point fixed at the origin an having infinite radius, in other words a horizontal line. If you were to "decrease" the radius to any finite number, the line would collapse into the curved edge of a circle, but how does that step occur? The step from infinite to finite?

    ImagineBaggins That's a good question; first, where do those shapes come from? A: the Cosmological Principle, AKA FLRW metric. We already know there are 3 possible topologies for 3D slices of ST, which we input in the FLRW solution via a parameter k=0,+1,-1 for each; feeding this metric into the Einstein eqs wields the Friedman eqs, which, by a lil trickery, allow you to compute k (topology) from the (observed) energy density! But, remember that the CP imposes _tremendous_ constraints on the 3D slices - assuming that such a change of spatial topology occurs, even in the ''''preferred '''' cosmic frame, probably is beyond the FLRW sol., i.e., it's counter to observation Refer to others if u like ;)

    Our universe is a closed system, therefore energy is conserved. Even as it expands, the mass-energy which appears in the form of a smaller mass defect is perfectly cancelled out by the increase in negative gravitational potential energy as a result.

    A flat universe implies an expanding universe with a decreasing velocity approaching zero. However, what we've seen instead is expanding universe with an increasing velocity due to dark energy. So unless matter is being created out of nothing somewhere, mass-density will continue to drop and become more and more negative. How are astronomers and physicists reconciling "flat" mass-density versus accelerating expansion? it seems to be a contradiction, as there is an ever increasing volume without a corresponding increase in matter (mass).

    Dark energy and regular matter do not interact in normal ways. So it might be possible for Dark energy to cause the Universe to expand while having the universe retain it's shape. Also, the shape of our universe depends on the amount of matter, or mass and energy, and as far was we know, dark energy has no mass, and exerts no "normal" energy on regular matter. Note. The expansion of the Universe is a weird and not normal interaction of matter and dark energy. Please correct me if I got anything wrong! I'd love to continue this conversation!

But that is not what we observe when we measure universal expansion. What we see is a positive acceleration, which corresponds to an open universe: phys.org/news/2015-04-mysterious-dark-energy-universe-expansion.html So I don't understand if there are completing claims, or if minutephysics is just working with old data that was used before the discovery of an accelerating expanding universe and dark energy?

You are absolutely right, that we can’t explain this in a testable way for now. I would like to highlight something very important tho: it’s not the universe that is fine-tuned for us, but rather we adapted to an already existing universe. Which obviously raises the idea that our universe might not be the only one.
