Description

The question of whether our universe is finite or infinite remains an open enigma in cosmology. While most studies assume a spatially infinite universe, statistical anomalies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and significant methodological limitations in previous analyses call this assumption into question. In this talk, I will present recent findings from the COMPACT collaboration, focusing on the search for cosmic topologies and their potential implications for explaining CMB anomalies.
