DESCRIPTION:The goal of the talk is to clarify certain points about "space"
  and "spatial geometry" within the framework of general relativity. (Within
  that framework\, talk about four-dimensional spacetime geometry is perfect
 ly unambiguous\, but not so talk about three-dimensional spatial geometry.)
   So\, for example\, consider this question:  "How big was space just after
  the big bang."  It is a trick question because it depends on what one mean
 s by "space". Indeed\, if the universe is described by a standard Friedmann
 -Robertson-Walker cosmological model in which k = 0 or k = -1\, then the an
 swer is "infinitely large" in one sense of "space"\, but "incredibly small"
  in another sense of "space".
