The Accelerating Universe: A Gravitational Explanation
The problem of explaining the acceleration of the expansion of the universe and the observational and theoretical difficulties associated with dark matter and dark energy are discussed. The possibility that GR does not correctly describe the large-scale structure of the universe is considered and an alternative gravity theory is proposed as a possible resolution to the problems. e-mail: moffat@...
متن کاملExact Analytic Spectrum of Relic Gravitational Waves in Accelerating Universe
An exact analytic calculation is presented for the spectrum of relic gravi-tational waves in the scenario of accelerating Universe Ω Λ + Ω m = 1. The spectrum formula contains explicitly the parameters of acceleration, inflation , reheating, and the (tensor/scalar) ratio, so that it can be employed for a variety of cosmological models. We find that the spectrum depends on the behavior of the pr...
متن کاملRelic Gravitational Waves and Cmb Polarization in the Accelerating Universe
In this paper we briefly present our works on the relic gravitational waves (RGW) and the CMB polarization in the accelerating universe. The spectrum of RGW has been obtained, showing the influence of the dark energy. Compared with those from non-accelerating models, the shape of the spectrum is approximately similar, nevertheless, the amplitude of RGW now acquires a suppressing factor of the r...
متن کاملVacuum Energy and Universe in Special Relativity
The problem of cosmological constant and vacuum energy is usually thought of as the subject of general relativity. However, the vacuum energy is important for the Universe even in the absence of gravity , i.e. in the case when the Newton constant G is exactly zero, G = 0. We discuss the response of the vacuum energy to the perturbations of the quantum vacuum in special relativity, and find that...
متن کاملDark Energy and the Accelerating Universe
Ten years ago, the discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating put in place the last major building block of the present cosmological model, in which the universe is composed of 4% baryons, 20% dark matter, and 76% dark energy. At the same time, it posed one of the most profound mysteries in all of science, with deep connections to both astrophysics and particle physics. Cosmic...
