The article "The Shape of Space after WMAP data" by Jean-Pierre Luminet states that: "The associated power spectrum, namely the repartition of fluctuations as a function of their wavelengths corresponding to PDS, strongly depends on the value of the mass-energy density parameter. Luminet et al...

It has been my understanding from various articles I've been reading by Jeff Weeks and others that there was a strong belief that the shape of the Universe was the Poincare Dodecahedral Space (PDS), based upon the WMAP data's missing certain larger frequencies and the given range for the...

Also I have another question: Now if I were wanting to cite this from a reputable source, where could I find this formula? Not that I doubt you ;) but I will be asked where I got this formula from, and I would rather not say from some guy named Marcus I met online on a message board, haha...

Hey Marcus, I figured out why I couldn't find your numbers in the paper. We have two different versions of it. You obviously linked your version above, I got my version from the LAMBDA site: http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/map/current/map_bibliography.cfm and clicked on the PDF of the...

Thanks a ton Marcus!

What is the total density? From the three year WMAP data it was thought to be 1.02 +or- 0.02. I see numbers like -0.0179 < Omega[k] < 0.0081 which reduces to -0.0178 < Omega[k] < 0.0066 with a 95% Confidence level, but these numbers are so dramatically different it doesn't seem possible that...
