Ultimate fate of the universe 7.5 billion years after the Big Bang, that the expansion rate of the universe has likely been increasing, commensurate with the Open Universe theory. However, other recent measurements by Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe suggest that the universe is either flat or very close to flat. If formula_5, then the geometry of space is closed like the surface of a sphere. The sum of the angles of a triangle exceeds 180 degrees and there are no parallel lines; all lines eventually meet. The geometry of the universe is, at least on a very large scale, elliptic. In a closed universe, gravity
Integer triangle formula_112 and formula_113 generate the same triple. Unfortunately the two pairs can both be of gcd=3, so we can't avoid duplicates by simply skipping that case. Instead, duplicates can be avoided by formula_27 going only till formula_115. Note that we still need to divide by 3 if gcd=3. The only solution for formula_116 under the above constraints is formula_117 for formula_118. With this additional formula_119 constraint all triples can be generated uniquely. An Eisenstein triple is a set of integers which are the lengths of the sides of a triangle where one of the angles is 60 degrees. Integer triangles
