The shape of the universe

Paul Wesson shows how new techniques enable us to obtain accurate pictures of the Big Bang. Abstract Diagrams that accurately show essential physical features of models can be a valuable aid to understanding. Seeing the consequences of changes to the models is a powerful way to understand relationships that are otherwise evident only from complex calculations. Here I present a new way to visualize the shape of the universe, in a mathematically accurate way, using plots that incorporate the relationships between the fourth and fifth dimensions deduced from membrane theory and induced‐matter theory. Among other things, these plots show a new picture of the Big Bang.
