Physicists report the possibility of the universe having a complex, doughnut-like geometry, challenging the belief in its trivial topology.

Topology

The universe may have nontrivial topology, similar to a doughnut, allowing for travel across the cosmos and ending up back where you started.

Research

Scientists have searched for signs of complex topology in the cosmic microwave background, but have not found evidence yet.

New Study

A new study evaluated 17 possible nontrivial topologies for the cosmos, finding that most of these topologies have not been ruled out.

Future Analysis

Future analyses of the cosmic microwave background could reveal hints of complex topologies, and machine learning techniques may be required for computational challenges.

Motivation

There is motivation to look for nontrivial topology as some features of the cosmic microwave background hint at asymmetry, which could be explained by nontrivial topology.

Further Research

Scientists plan to hunt for signs of nontrivial topology in upcoming data from surveys of the distribution of galaxies in the cosmos.
