Shape of the universe speed cannot propagate the thermal information. Knowing this propagation speed, we then know the size of the gas cloud as well as the distance to the gas cloud, we then have two sides of a triangle and can then determine the angles. Using a method similar to this, the BOOMERanG experiment has determined that the sum of the angles to 180° within experimental error, corresponding to an Ω ≈ 1.00±0.12. These and other astronomical measurements constrain the spatial curvature to be very close to zero, although they do not constrain its sign. This means that although the local geometries of
Zero degrees of freedom Zero degrees of freedom In statistics, the non-central chi-squared distribution with zero degrees of freedom can be used in testing the null hypothesis that a sample is from a uniform distribution on the interval (0, 1). This distribution was introduced by Andrew F. Siegel in 1979. The chi-squared distribution with "n" degrees of freedom is the probability distribution of the sum where However, if and formula_4 are independent, then the sum of squares above has a non-central chi-squared distribution with "n" degrees of freedom and "noncentrality parameter" It is trivial that a "central" chi-square distribution with zero degrees of freedom
