No, its shape is open, like a saddle. It has a negative curvature.

Question

Answer

Pro: Scientists calculated mathematically that the Universe is either, a smooth ball shape, or a lumpy ball, or a saddle shape. In the Aluna Mirror-Worlds one is shown that the saddle shape is correct. It the Pringle shape. The Mobius strip (see below) is like the saddle.

Answer

Pro: Changes in the light emitted when the Universe was just 400,000 years old - also known as the cosmic microwave background - have helped scientists understand the structure and evolution of the universe. Measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by Nasa’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe provided the first clues of a lopsided universe in 2004

Answer

Pro: Calculations tell us that the universe is fairly close to the plane. However, the fact that the expansion of the universe has been shown to be accelerated gives rise to a hyperbolic form.

Answer

Pro: The universe may be curved 'like a saddle' and not flat, according to study of light emitted when cosmos was just 400,000 years old

Answer

Pro: Evidence left over after the Big Bang may suggest a saddle-shaped universe

Answer

Pro: Data from NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, or WMAP, launched in 2001, unexpectedly suggested that the universe may be lopsided — that is, hot and cold spots on one side of the cosmos appear hotter and colder than on the other. The evidence for this anomalyhas increased over time, and data from the Planck satellite launched by the European Space Agency in 2009 supports the existence of the same anomaly.

Answer

Pro: Scientists cautioned that there may be other explanations for this anomaly. Our universe may have collided with another universe shortly after the big bang, or the anomaly might just be a statistical fluke,thats why the universe should have hyperbolic shape

Answer

Pro: Researchers investigating a major anomaly in the afterglow of the Big Bang suggest the fabric of space and time may actually be curved like a saddle, possibly upending the currently leading notion that light and anything else traveling through spacetime zips through a "flat" universe in straight lines. In a saddle-shaped universe

Answer

Pro: The geometry of the universe is “open” or negatively curved like a saddle, according to a new model proposed by researchers in Europe who have studied anomalies in the cosmic microwave background radiation. The anomalies were first detected by NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) in 2004 and were confirmed earlier this year by the European Space Agency’s Planck space mission.

Answer

Pro: the curvature of space is dependent upon the density of the Universe, and for Ω<1 the curvature is negative or hyperbolic.

Answer

Pro: The universe has a curved shape (like a pringle) because of the energy it contains.

Answer

Con: It couldn't be like this because if it was in this way the light when you observ from a telescope would be distorsionated but it doesn't so the universe is flat.

Answer

Con: If It was like a saddle theres a posibility to travel from one side to another by going in an horizontal way

Answer

Con: If all the matter and energy in the universe, including dark matter and dark energy, adds up to exactly the concentration at which the energy of the outward expansion balances the energy of the inward gravitational pull, space will extend flatly in all directions.

Answer

Pro: Cosmologists say that when the universe was very young it underwent a period of extremely rapid expansion known as inflation.About 380,000 years after the Big Bang, the CMB came into being.Physicists had expected the temperature of the CMB to be the same everywhere but for 10 years,CMB has grown.It's clear that the temperature fluctuations in the two hemispheres of the sky are different.This means that the density of matter and energy seems more strongly on one side of the sky than on the other.

Answer

Pro: "Curved universe could help explain cosmic conundrum. Modifying the standard model of cosmology might solve a mystery about the age of the cosmos." This means that cosmologyst might find easier to know the exact day of the cosmos with a curved universe, making the flat universe harder to study and to prove.

Answer

Pro: A new study formed by the launch of a satellite makes up a conclussion, that our universe has got a curve, making it either Open or Closed (spherical) than flat, which Eleonora Di Valentino of Manchester University in the UK, makes their findings as a "cosmological crisis" Source: Sciencealert.com

Answer

Pro: "One of the most fundamental properties of the Universe is its density, or more usefully the ratio Ω = ρ/ρc of the density to the critical value required for closure. The feeling among cosmologists is that the Universe is open, with Ω perhaps in the range 0.1–0.5 (see ref. 1)." This would make it's density lower than 1, therefore making it's negative curve to an open universe. If it's value "was" or is equal to 1, it would turn up to a flat..

Answer

Pro: "The density parameter determined from various methods such as calculating the number of baryons created in the big bang, counting stars in galaxies, and observing the dynamics of galaxies both near and far. With some rather large uncertainties, all methods point to the universe being open (i.e. the density parameter is less than one)" Therefore this means that our universe would apply the accelerated expansion theory making it's form a negative curve.

Answer

Con: If the universe had the shape of a saddle, we could not travel in a straight line, something that has been proven to be possible.

Answer

Con: The shape of the saddle doesnt go according to the inflation therory that i explained in class, so it cant have a saddle shape

Answer

Con: This is not correct, because if we have in mind the three types of substance that occupies the universe, this lead us a perfectly flat universe.

Answer

Pro: Its low density and fast rate of expansion, makes an open negative universe, which is curved

Answer

Pro: It cannot be flat because the planets will come out and if it is in the form of a negative curve the planets would stay inside

Answer

Pro: Acellerated Expansion requires a center point where to base off, where it's low density generate the negative curve.

Answer

Con: According to the latest findings, in the infinitesimally brief moments after its creation, the universe experienced a hyperinflation event, during which it grew from one hundred million trillion times smaller than the diameter of a proton to about the size of a grapefruit. Evidence for that event came initially from a WMAP measurement of the cosmic scalar spectral index.5 New measurements establishing cosmic flatness provide a confirming piece of evidence.

Answer

Con: I think that this theory is not very well proved because the only ones that are saying things are Izam and Alba, so im thinking that the rest of the team doesnt agree with them, because they dont say anything

Answer

Con: Various observations since the early 2000s have shown that our universe is very nearly flat and must therefore come within a hair of this critical density, which is calculated to be about 5.7 hydrogen atoms’ worth of stuff per cubic meter of space, much of it invisible.

Answer

Con: I have a question for you, how do you explain the theory of relativity with a universe in the shape of a saddle? With the absence of gravitational fields and a saddle shape, the planets, satellites, stars... would fall out of the universe

Answer

Con: I have a question for you, how do you explain the theory of relativity with a universe in the shape of a saddle? With the absence of gravitational fields and a saddle shape, the planets, satellites, stars... would fall out of the universe

Answer

Con: There is no posibility to have a saddle shape because the density of the matter that is expanding dont lead us to have a saddle shape

Answer

Con: also you can not explain how the light travels through it since it travels in a straight line so there would come a time when the light would leave the universe

Answer

Con: Theres no possibility to have a saddle shape of our universe because as Izam says theres a accelerated expansion that would make collapse the universe and do not form atoms or other like stars

Answer

Pro: “In a paper published in November's Nature Astronomy, Silk and his partners were able to make this discrepancy go away by introducing a new parameter to their equations: a slight curvature in the fabric of the universe. The idea of a curved universe is not new. Einstein's general theory of relativity permits the universe to assume a variety of shapes, from flat to spherical to saddle.”

Answer

Con: I have another question, knowing that the universe is not infinite but can continue to expand, how does it expand, in the form of a yoyo cylinder?

Answer

Con: I have a question for those of you who say that it has the shape of a saddle, in what orientation would this be?

Answer

Con: Also a study done by a group of experts and written by Leah Crane says the only possibles forms of the universe are rounded or flat, there’s no other possible form.
