Exploring the Shape of the Universe: A Study on Dark Matter and Energy

This project examines the shape of the universe, considering the roles of dark matter and dark energy. We explore the observable universe, questioning if it is finite or infinite. Current physics suggests that infinity does not apply, as all observations contradict this. We delve into the significant discrepancies in calculations of energy density, one of the biggest mysteries in physics, measured to be off by a staggering 10^120. This study will guide readers through the complexities of cosmic curvature and the global topologies of the universe, enriched by collaboration and significant references.

  1. Shape of THE Universe Seyed Ahmad Mortazavi Garry Howe Santa Rosa Junior College Younes Ataiiyan, Instructor Physics 43 14 May 2009

  2. 10 million 5 light years 100 million 1 light year

  3. We assume universe is not infinite As time goes on more parts become the parts of the observable universe Is the universe infinite? We don’t know! But Every study to date has shown that infinity does not stand in physics Infinity works in math but hasn't work in physics

  4. Components of the Universe

  5. Dark Matter

  6. Dark Energy Is energy of vacuum One of the biggest mysteries in physics The most miscalculated parameter in all physics! Calculated value off by 10^120 from observed value

  7. Vital Statistic

  8. Math Curvature Curvature >0 Curvature =0 Curvature < 0

  9. Curvatures

  10. Possible Global Topologies of the Universe

  11. A Possible Global Topology of Universe

  12. Acknowledgments I would like to especially thank Mr. Frank Nabavi for his tremendous help and feedback in the process of making this Project. Without his continuous guidance creation of this work wouldn't have been possible.
