Ultimate fate of the universe cosmological constant, which would correspond to a negative energy density and positive pressure, would cause even an open universe to re-collapse to a big crunch. This option has been ruled out by observations. If the average density of the universe exactly equals the critical density so that formula_8, then the geometry of the universe is flat: as in Euclidean geometry, the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees and parallel lines continuously maintain the same distance. Measurements from Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe have confirmed the universe is flat with only a 0.4% margin of error. In absence
Schwarz triangle function case the region in the sector between the radii "OA" and "OB" outside the edge "AB" is convex as the intersection of three convex regions. By induction the angles at "A" and "B" are greater than or equal to /3. Thus the geodesics to "C" from "A" and "B" start off in the region; by convexity, the triangle "ABC" lies wholly inside the region. The quadrilateral "OACB" has all its angles less than (since "OAB" is a geodesic triangle), so is convex. Hence the radius "OC" lies inside the angle of the triangle "ABC" near "C". Thus the angles between
