In other words, the energy (relative to the origin) of a co-moving particle in free-fall is conserved. General relativity merely adds a connection between the spatial curvature of the universe and the energy of such a particle: positive total energy implies negative curvature and negative total energy implies positive curvature. 8243: 4316: 559: 36: 8303: 8327: 8279: 571: 8315: 1206: 8291: 6066:
