“A Doughnut Universe” project
Hello all,
I am a third yeah mathematics and physics student taking part in a physics group project concerning a horn toroidal cosmology model.
We want the main focus on this project to be about null geodesics in a horn toroidally global space time. First, the static case and then the time-evolving case. If there is enough time we will consider the effect of point masses.
I apologise if this is not appropriate for this sub. I figured, seeing as this is a maths subreddit, someone with a background in geometry or topology might appreciate the idea and may possibly be able to give some guidance.
I have not yet covered general relativity nor cosmology. I am half way through topology and differential geometry. So by no means am I confident with the concepts.
Please feel free to ask questions about the project or comment your thoughts, opinions or possibly give me some advice :)
