How would the geometry of a universe with ?o greater than 1 differ from one with ?o less than 1?

What will be an ideal response?


If ?o is greater than 1, the geometry of space is positive and could be likened to the surface of a sphere. If ?o is less than 1, the geometry is negative and space is saddle-shaped.
