有理由相信，我们在视界内观测到的均匀曲率区域可能只是一个极小的斑块，远小于一个极其复杂流形的非均匀性和全局连通性的长度尺度。然而，最近的超新星（SN）观测结果表明，视界尺度可能与曲率半径相当，甚至远大于曲率半径。非平凡的全局结构也往往与局部曲率尺度相当。探测（略微）超出宇宙视界可能揭示潜伏在视界尺度附近或之外的潜在非平凡全局结构。宇宙微波背景（CMB）各向异性是探测宇宙在直至并略微超出视界尺度的长度尺度上的灵敏探针，并且可能有望探测或对全局结构的非平凡特征施加有趣的限制。这一点通过以下事实得到例证：在闭合FRW宇宙（球面几何）的修订参数空间的大部分区域中，椭圆拓扑的高CMB各向异性信号很强，而该参数空间目前为超新星观测所偏好。
英文摘要
There are reasons to believe that the region of uniform curvature that we observe within our horizon is perhaps a tiny patch, much smaller than the length scales of inhomogeneity and global connectivity of an extremely complicated manifold. However, the recent supernova (SN) results suggest that the horizon scale could be comparable to or even much larger than curvature radius. Non trivial global structure too tends to be of the order of the local curvature scale. Probing (slightly) beyond the cosmic horizon can potentially reveal nontrivial global structure lurking around or just beyond the horizon scale. The cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy is a sensitive probe of the universe on length scales up to and somewhats beyond the horizon scale and is perhaps poised to detect or put interesting limits on nontrivial features the global structure. This point is exemplified by high CMB anisotropy signal of the Elliptical topology in a large fraction of the revised parameter space of the closed FRW universe (spherical geometry) currently preferred by SN observations.
