The universe is flat and infinite – Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida

Physicists believe that the universe is flat, and evidence of residual light from the Big Bang and the rate of expansion of the universe at various locations indicate this.David Spergel, a theoretical astrophysicist and professor emeritus of astrophysics at Princeton University , has studied the shape of the universe for decades. In a 2003 study published in The Astrophysical Journal, Spergel measured the roughness of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the light left over from the Big Bang.

“A flat universe corresponds to a universe without energy,” Spergel said.

The new research, published in the journal Physical Review D, found that the universe, within a 0.2% accuracy margin, was flat. The data indicate that the spatial curvature is zero, which means that the universe is within statistical uncertainty – infinite.
