But also, it means that given enough time, the rest of the universe would drift away from us until our galaxy was all that was left.

Scientists have looked across the universe, however have not noticed this hyperbolic space in action.

In fact, things all look pretty flat, so perhaps flat space is the correct answer.

Yet, this still leaves room to me for hyperbolic space to be the default.

After all, if matter is curving space towards it, and the universe appears flat, it would make sense that the universe was curved in the inverse, at least to some degree.

Perhaps all three models are true.

Perhaps the universe is by default hyperbolic, but mass brings it together in such a way that it perfectly offsets the inverse curves of the universe to the point where everything appears flat.

There certainly seems to be some evidence that this is the case, but it's very difficult to know for sure.

Which model do you think is correct?

Or maybe you feel that we do not live in an infinite universe at all?

But for now, just remember, the unseen world might be a lot more influential on our universe than we are currently aware of.

You may have noticed this video didn't have any sponsors, and that's because it was brought to you by our astronauts on Patreon.

Consider joining our Patreon to keep these videos thriving, even when they're sponsor-free.

It's the reason we can research deep into the topics we love, without cutting corners or chasing clicks.

Every new astronaut allows us to explore bigger ideas, and make every upload even better than the last.

Yet within this spectacularly vast system, there's one moon that's instantly recognisable.

With a colossal impact crater dominating its surface, Mimas looks more like the Death Star than a natural icy satellite.
