An important open question of cosmology is the shape of the Universe. Mathematically, which 3-manifold represents best the spatial part of the Universe? Firstly, whether the Universe is spatially flat, i.e. whether the rules of Euclidean geometry are valid on the largest scales, is unknown. Currently, most cosmologists believe that the observable Universe is very nearly spatially flat, with local wrinkles where massive objects distort spacetime, just a ...
