The triangle is drawn on the outside of a sphere. you can make a triangle with 3 90degree angles. One at the pole and two at the equator. Equalateral trangle 270 degrees total from the corners.

I think you may be confusing dark energy with dark matter. Yes, they estimate that 99.5% of all the energy and matter in the universe is made up of dark energy and dark matter. However, astronomers believe that approximately 66% is dark energy, while 33% is dark matter, with 'normal' matter only being 0.5% of the total mass/energy total of the universe. In other words, we as people are pretty rare in the grand scheme of things.

Re: OT - Is the universe finite in size?
About that triangle problem;
Are the sides curving around the surface of the sphere? If that is the case, it is no longer a triangle.

Re: OT - Is the universe finite in size?
hmmm, interesting topic. And I can set the record straight..
The Universe IS Finite. (but we're only at .0000000000000001%)
Man's knowledge IS Finite. (but we're only at .0000000000000001%)
Life IS Finite. (yup, we're all gonna die.)
Silly questions deserve silly answers. 
Cheers!  |

I thought when you split an atom you got two, not one less. You will be counting for a long time. Sorry, this was just too funny for my twisted sense of humor.  [Edit] I ate a piece of cheese in your honor.

Re: OT - Is the universe finite in size?
Yes I have heard that one. 
And you only get two atoms if you split a heavier atom. If you were to split a hydrogen atom (is that possible?) you would get a free nucleus and electrons... Hrmm...a great big burning ball of plasma we like to call stars? Cept that is fusion... AHHHHHH!
