Scientific paper

The author surveys recent theoretical ideas regarding the possible value of the present total density of the Universe and shows how physically realistic cosmological models containing small deviations from isotropy allow observations of intrinsically general relativistic effects on the microwave background to determine whether or not the Universe is open or closed no matter how close the total density lies to the critical value. Applications of these results to inhomogeneous cosmological models, cosmic vorticity, and observational studies of the microwave-background-radiation isotropy are also discussed.
