Aging of the Universe and the fine structure constant
In this paper the aging of the Universe is investigated in the frame of quantum hyperbolic heat transport equation. For the open universe, when t → ∞, h̄ → ∞, c → 0 and fine structure constant, α, is constant.
متن کاملTime variation of the fine structure constant in the early universe and the Bekenstein model
Aims. We calculate bounds on the variation of the fine structure constant at the time of primordial nucleosynthesis and at the time of neutral hydrogen formation. We use these bounds and other bounds from the late universe to test Bekenstein model. Methods. We modify the Kawano code, CAMB and CosmoMC in order to include the possible variation of the fine structure constant. We use observational...
متن کامل2 Possible link between the changing fine - structure constant and the accelerating universe via scalar - tensor theory
In 1976, Shlyakhter showed that the Sm data from Oklo results in the upper bound on the time-variability of the fine-structure constant: |α̇/α|< ∼10y, which has ever been the most stringent bound. Since the details have never been published, however, we recently re-analyzed the latest data according to Shlyakhter’s recipe. We nearly re-confirmed his result. To be more precise, however, the Sm da...
متن کاملTime Evolution of the Fine Structure Constant
We present a short review of the current quasar (QSO) absorption line constraints on possible variation of the fine structure constant, α ≡ e 2 /¯ hc. Particular attention is paid to recent optical Keck/HIRES spectra of 49 absorption systems which indicate a smaller α in the past [1, 2]. Here we present new preliminary results from 128 absorption systems: ∆α/α = (−0.57 ± 0.10) × 10 −5 over the ...
متن کاملSupernovae, an accelerating universe and the cosmological constant.
Observations of supernova explosions halfway back to the Big Bang give plausible evidence that the expansion of the universe has been accelerating since that epoch, approximately 8 billion years ago and suggest that energy associated with the vacuum itself may be responsible for the acceleration.
