  • (Non)-Euclidean Geometry

  • Differential Geometry

    Negative curvature

    Flat (Euclidean)

    Positive curvature

  • Homogeneity & Isotropy

  • Large Scale Structure on the Sky

  • Isotropy and Homogeneity of CMB

    ΔT/T < 10-5

  • Evolution of Scale Factor

    Ω = 0 Ω = 1 Ω = 2

    Ωm = 0.27 ΩΛ = 0.73 ΩΛ = 1 Steady State
