I thought that Einstein proved that the physical universe is NOT Euclidean... hmm... so wait would that mean perhaps that variations from non-Euclidean geometry are a result of "bleedthrough" from other densities?!
Larson is imposing a Euclidean reference system on the universe in order for his math relations to work out. It's not 'inherently' Euclidean, obviously. It's fine to impose any geometry as a tool as long as you understand its limitations. If you read various physics papers about N dimensions, for example, scientists know there are not inherently N dimensions - however, for theoretical investigations one must 'draw a line in the sand' in order to establish a framework for entities within the system to be depicted and relate in some manner.
