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.

An explorer walks into a lab in a science building. She has a compass in her hand and finds that the south pole of her compass points toward the room's east wall when she is nearer that wall and toward the west wall when she is nearer that wall. You could explain this if magnetized metal had been installed in the east and west walls with north poles pointing into the room. If no magnetic material

was installed in the north or south walls of the room, she would expect that a. the south pole of the compass would tend to point toward those walls. b. the north pole of the compass would tend to point toward those walls. c. the compass needle would not point in any particular direction. d. the north pole of the compass needle would tend to point toward the centers of those walls, but the south pole would tend to point toward the sides of those walls. e. the south pole of the compass needle would tend to point toward the centers of those walls, but the north pole would tend to point toward the sides of those walls.
