Curved space

Curved space often refers to a spatial geometry which is not "flat", where a flat space is described by Euclidean geometry. Curved spaces can generally be described by Riemannian geometry though some simple cases can be described in other ways. Curved spaces play an essential role in general relativity, where gravity is often visualized as curved space. The Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric is a curved metric which forms the current foundation for the description of the expansion of space and shape of the universe. (Wikipedia).

Teach Astronomy - The Shape of Space

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ According to the theory of general relativity, the universe and the space we live in may actually have a shape, and the shape need not be the flat infinite space described by Euclidean geometry. Infinite space will be flat, but curved space could be finite o

Could Flatland Be CURVED?!

Measuring the curvature of a space takes parallel transport and the Riemann curvature tensor (General Relativity). Let's explore this using Flatland and Lineland, an old tool involving lower-dimensional spaces. Brilliant for 20% off: http://brilliant.org/ScienceAsylum _____________________
