Flatness
Problem
In the universe, according to Einstein’s equation, any deviation
from flatness in an expanding universe filled with matter or radiation
only gets bigger as the universe expands. So any tiny deviation
from flatness at a much earlier time would have grown very large
by now. If the deviation from flatness is very small now, there
must have been an immeasurable small amount of deviation at the
start of the Big Bang. Today, there is a very small amount of deviation
from the flat spatial geometry. As there is a bit of spatial curvature,
it signifies that there must have been an immeasurably small amount
of curvature during the time that the Big Bang occurred. However,
according to the Big Bang Theory, there was no deviation of spatial
curvature, and thus contradicts the Big Bang Theory.
