Discovering Dark Energy and Flat Universe
Scientists have observed the universe's geometry to be Euclidean and perfectly flat, indicating a consensus among researchers. Dark energy is hypothesized to maintain this flatness by counteracting spherical or saddle shapes. Further exploration, including the role of quintessence, is needed to fully understand the universe's geometry.
