In simple terms it is the shape of the universe. Many theories have been put forward for the shape of the universe, but it is generally thought of as being flat, or very slightly curved, but not so curved that it would fold back on itself to form a sphere, cylinder or torus (doughnut shape). This concept of being "flat" requires some unusual thinking because the universe is clearly three dimensional (with a fourth dimension of time) and not a flat two dimensional surface.

Whose geometric model of the solar system was accepted 1400 years?

The geometric model of the solar system accepted around 1400 years ago was that of the Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy. His geocentric model, detailed in the Almagest, posited that the Earth was at the center of the universe, with the Sun, Moon, and planets revolving around it in circular orbits. This model dominated Western astronomy for many centuries until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus gained acceptance in the 16th century.


What did the Copernicus universe suggest?

Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model of the universe. Meaning, the earth was the centre of the universe and other planets had to orbit around the earth. This model of the universe was against Ptolemy's model of a geocentric model; a stationary Earth at the centre of the universe.
