Quantum Cosmology and Varying Physical Constants
نویسنده
چکیده
The main task of this review is to discuss quantum cosmology minisuperspace models based on the Wheeler–DeWitt equation, which apart from the standard matter and 3-geometry configuration degrees of freedom, allow those related to the variability of physical constants—varying speed of light (VSL) c and varying gravitational constant G. The tunneling probability of the universe “from nothing” to the Friedmann phase will be given for such varying constants minisuperspace models.

Predictions from quantum cosmology.
The world view suggested by quantum cosmology is that inflating universes with all possible values of the fundamental constants are spontaneously created out of nothing. I explore the consequences of the assumption that we are a “typical” civilization living in this metauniverse. The conclusions include inflation with an extremely flat potential and low thermalization temperature, structure for...
متن کاملNumerical correspondences between the physical constants
We present here a note which synthesizes our previous ideas concerning some problems in cosmology, and the numerical correspondences between the constants in physics which we could deduce. 1 Tensorial quantum gravity
متن کاملA new quantum gravity framework based on the twin - tori model of cosmology . ( Part 1 )
In this, the final paper in the recent series on the new twin-tori model of cosmology, the model is developed in a logical way. Its historical development is included, and what follows is a statement of the central axioms of the theory. The reasons for them are described and their use in the theory is shown. What then follows is a brief description of the cosmological side of the theory, and it...
متن کاملCosmology with varying constants.
The idea of possible time or space variations of the 'fundamental' constants of nature, although not new, is only now beginning to be actively considered by large numbers of researchers in the particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics communities. This revival is mostly due to the claims of possible detection of such variations, in various different contexts and by several groups. I present ...
متن کاملBouncing Universes with Varying Constants
We investigate the behaviour of exact closed bouncing Friedmann universes in theories with varying constants. We show that the simplest BSBM varying-alpha theory leads to a bouncing universe. The value of alpha increases monotonically, remaining approximately constant during most of each cycle, but increasing significantly around each bounce. When dissipation is introduced we show that in each ...
