As others have commented, space has been measured to be rather flat; however, I don't see how geometry factors into anything discussed in this post. Where do you think it fits in?AgentSmith said:
A CMB Primer is a guide or introduction to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), which is the residual heat and light from the Big Bang that permeates the entire universe.
The target audience for this primer is anyone who is interested in learning about the CMB, regardless of their scientific background or knowledge.
No, this primer is designed to be accessible to readers with little to no prior knowledge of physics. However, some basic understanding of scientific concepts may be helpful.
This primer will provide an overview of the CMB, including its discovery, properties, and significance in our understanding of the universe. It will also introduce some key concepts and terminology related to the CMB.
No, this primer is intended to be a brief and simplified introduction to the CMB. It is not a comprehensive guide but rather a starting point for further exploration and learning about this fascinating topic.
