struggling to tie up Inflationary universe with a flat structure. my 3-dimensional mind intuitive leads to think about Universe as a growing bubble which would be consistent with inflation. seeking an explanation to why we think the universe is flat and how it ties to inflation.

Thread 'Just an enthusiast!'

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
