Abstract

One of the most important tools to a cosmologist is the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The CMB is radiation leftover from the early universe, a time when the universe was opaque. The CMB provides information about this early universe and how it evolved over time. One key insight from the CMB is that the observable universe—the part of the universe that we can see—is flat. This summer, I examined what it means to be locally flat and what implications this could have for the universe as a whole.
