Density Parameter
Ω = ρ/ (ρc) represents the density parameter, where ρ is the energy density and ρc is the critical density, crucial for determining the universe's fate.

The statement of the theorem
The density parameter quantifies the ratio of the actual energy density to the critical density . It is defined as: \nThe critical density is derived from the Friedmann equation at and is given by:\nThe total density parameter determines the geometry of the universe: implies a flat (Euclidean) geometry, implies a closed (spherical) geometry, and implies an open (hyperbolic) geometry.
