Big Rip Compatible with Flat Universe?

vendredi 30 mai 2014

Is there a fundamental incompatibilty between a flat universe and the possibility of a Big Rip-type scenario of the evolution of the universe? Does a Big Rip necessarily imply a hyperbolic universe?



What relationship is there -if any- between the shape of the universe and the equation of state parameter of dark energy that theoretically determines the likeliness of a Big Rip scenario?



Wikipedia says that as of the present state of knowledge, the universe is flat within "a 0.4% margin of error". What future experiments/observations will confirm/refute this observation?
