**Density Calculation and Universe Model Selection**

Pretend that galaxies are spaced evenly, 4.0 Mpc apart, and the average mass of a galaxy is \(1.0 \times 10^{11} M_{\odot}\). What is the average density (in kg/m\(^3\)) of matter in the universe? 

(Note: The volume of a sphere is \(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\), and the mass of the sun is \(2.0 \times 10^{30}\) kg.)

\[ \text{Density:} \ \underline{\phantom{000000000000}} \ \text{kg/m}^3 \]

Which model universe does this density value support?
