Cosmos may be curved, scientists say

The shape of the universe may be dramatically different than before thought, a group of researchers now says.
Researchers investigating a major anomaly in the afterglow of the Big Bang suggest the fabric of space and time may actually be curved like a saddle, possibly upending the currently leading notion that light and anything else traveling through spacetime zips through a "flat" universe in straight lines.
