The discussion centers on the implications of the 2019 Planck satellite data suggesting a closed universe, raising questions about the current understanding of cosmology. Participants inquire about the timeline for resolving these findings and whether any new evidence has emerged since then. The consensus indicates that while the data is intriguing, it has not yet led to a definitive conclusion or consensus in the scientific community. Ongoing research and observations are necessary to clarify the universe's shape and its implications for cosmological models. The need for further studies remains critical to address the potential crisis in cosmology.

Thread 'Estimates — True Size of the Universe?'

I always thought it was odd that we know dark energy expands our universe, and that we know it has been increasing over time, yet no one ever expressed a "true" size of the universe (not "observable" universe, the ENTIRE universe) by just reversing the process of expansion based on our understanding of its rate through history, to the point where everything would've been in an extremely small region. The more I've looked into it recently, I've come to find that it is due to that "inflation"...
