The Shape of the Universe Space is big. Very big. But what shape does it have? Is it flat like a three dimensional sheet of paper? Or curved like a giant ball? Does it go on forever? Or if you go far enough in one direction do you come back to where you started? These sound like the musings of science fiction or fantasy, but they are real scientific questions that have definite answers.Answers that we are in the process of learning.

Intended audience: directed to a general audience
