Summary: | Recent experimental results find strong indications that the universe is
flat, while other experimental results from supernovae Ia observations have
been interpreted to show that, not only that there is an accelerating expansion
of the universe, but also that the universe is strongly curved. By means of a
recently proposed metric, I am able to show that the experimental results which
had previously been analyzed to give a strong curvature are quite consistent
with a flat universe, thus resolving the apparent mismatch. The conclusion of
these latter authors which indicated an accelerating expansion of the universe
remains unchanged. |
