10 million 5 light years 100 million 1 light year
We assume universe is not infinite As time goes on more parts become the parts of the observable universe Is the universe infinite? We don’t know! But Every study to date has shown that infinity does not stand in physics Infinity works in math but hasn't work in physics
Dark Energy Is energy of vacuum One of the biggest mysteries in physics The most miscalculated parameter in all physics! Calculated value off by 10^120 from observed value
Math Curvature Curvature >0 Curvature =0 Curvature < 0
Acknowledgments I would like to especially thank Mr. Frank Nabavi for his tremendous help and feedback in the process of making this Project. Without his continuous guidance creation of this work wouldn't have been possible.
