Scientific paper

The paper deals with the question of whether the universe is open (in the sense that it expands for ever and must be infinite in size) or closed (in the sense that it is finite in size and contains enough matter for gravity to halt the expansion, eventually, and then cause the universe to collapse back into a singular state, or at least into a fireball reminiscent of the big bang of creation). The best available evidence is seen to favor the view that the universe is open and will expand for ever.
