... evidence from the CMB [cosmic microwave background] and elsewhere is currently consistent with the universe having a flat geometry. Note, though, that the only thing that we can ever really say is that the cosmos (i.e., all there is, whether observable by us or not) is much bigger than the patch we see. It could be, for example, that the cosmos is actually closed and finite but we happen to be in a slightly underdense region that looks open or flat. 4, record 1, English, - Euclidean%20geometry
