According to Cosmos, scientists have determined that unlimited space must have certain boundaries, at least The universe has both dimensions and shape.
The edge observed by modern devices of the Universe, argue pundits can be measured by the distance light travels since the beginning of time. That is, if the speed of light is multiplied by age Universe (it is believed that it arose after the Big Bang 13.8 billion years), plus to take into account its elongation, then it appears before us is a sphere with a diameter of 92.6 billion light years.
Satellites of the European Space Agency “Planck” have identified the curvature of the universe at 0.4 percent, based on which scientists made the assumption that the Universe after its inception “pouted” like balloon Estimates showed that its actual size in two hundred and fifty times the zone we are observing today.
However, researchers immediately stipulate that they cited the data cannot be considered absolutely correct and fully understood. For example, physicists at Oxford University immediately stated that modern telescopes, even the most powerful ones, cannot measure the curvature of the universe is below 0.01 percent, which means only one thing: there remains a chance to believe that the universe is nevertheless infinite.
Astrophysicist objects to physicists of the famous training center Columbia University Jeanne Levin, who is sure that there is no infinity and cannot be, it simply does not allow Nature. There are other views on the size and shape of the universe, let’s say some scientists see it as a donut, others believe that she can endlessly duplicate herself. However, almost all Researchers are sure to put all points over “and” will help further the study of gravitational waves, which will possible with the launch of more advanced satellites and thanks data processing on heavy duty computers.
It turns out that the determination of the shape and size of the universe so far remains a mystery that we can only comprehend in the future. Or – never…
