Closed universe, artwork
Closed universe. Computer artwork showing the geometrical curvature of a closed universe. The galaxies are shown on a grid, which represents the overall geometry of the universe. The curvature of a universe is determined by the amount and density of matter and energy. In an open universe, the amount of matter is insufficient to prevent the universe expanding forever. In a closed universe, there is enough matter to halt the expansion, followed by a contraction to a Big Crunch. In a flat universe, the amount of matter has a critical value between these two extremes. It is a matter of debate as to which of these models is a correct representation of the universe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Closed Universe" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the intricate geometrical curvature of our universe. Against a striking black background, this computer artwork showcases the vastness of space and the galaxies that inhabit it. The grid overlay represents the overall geometry of our universe, providing insight into its structure. The concept of a closed universe is explored here, where the amount and density of matter and energy determine its fate. In an open universe, lacking sufficient matter to counteract expansion, it continues to expand indefinitely. However, in a closed universe like this one, there is enough matter present to halt expansion and initiate contraction towards what scientists call the Big Crunch. The illustration also introduces us to different models of our universe - open, closed, and flat - each with distinct characteristics determined by varying amounts of matter. It remains a subject of ongoing debate among cosmologists as to which model accurately represents our reality. With its spherical shape and intricate details depicting galaxies within their curved paths, this artwork offers an intriguing glimpse into astrophysics and cosmology. By delving into concepts such as topology and four-dimensional spacetime physics, it challenges us to ponder the mysteries that lie beyond our earthly existence.
