One hypothesis about the shape of the universe is that the universe is in the space of Euclidean geometry and flat. In Euclidean geometry, it is assumed that straight lines extend everywhere, planes ...

This paper gives the exact evaluation of the shape density on the shape space Σ (S2,3) for a labelled random spherical triangle whose vertices are i.i.d.-uniform in a 'cap' of S2 bounded by a 'small' ...

Lionel asked: "Why are the Sun, the planets and their moons all spherical in shape?" ...

Celestial bodies are spherical in shape because of gravity. Celestial bodies are spherical in shape because of gravity. Whenever enough mass gathers close together, the resultant gravity, which ...
