A stupid question.
A stupid question.
#
According to Einstein’s GRT the strong gravitation bends a space
and this space will be curved. For example, the space around
the Sun is curved and therefore some quantum of light bends its
moving from the straight line.
The scientists named such space a Curved Universe.
A stupid question:
Do astronauts see from Cosmos what we live in the
Curved space, in the Curved Universe?

i don't think so ? the simplest answer would be like you can't see the curvature of the earth at low altitude. therefore the cosmos itself to see its curve you would have to be physically oriented out and above to see the curvature of the body in question ! i think ?

Certainly not a stupid question. I would be interested to hear what those in the know would answer.
