Inhomogeneous cosmology usually means the study of structure in the universe by means of exact solutions of Einstein s field equations i.e. Metric tensor general relativity metrics . Such models are not homogeneous, but contain enough matter to be possible Physicalcosmology cosmological models , or models of cosmological structures such as voids or galaxy clusters. The best known example of such solutions is the Lemaitre Tolman metric or LT model . Some other examples are the Szekeres metric, Szafron metric, Stephani metric, Kantowski Sachs metric, Barnes metric, Kustaanheimo Qvist metric, Senovilla metric. In contrast, perturbation theory, which deals with small perturbations from e.g. a homogeneous metric, only holds as long as the perturabtions are not too large, and N body simulations use Newtonian gravity which is only a good approximation when speeds are low and gravitational fields are weak.

Brane cosmology refers to several theories in particle physics and physicalcosmologycosmology motivated by, but not exclusively derived from, superstring theory and M theory . Brane and bulk Main Membrane M Theory The central idea is that the visible, four dimensional universe is restricted to a Membrane M Theory brane inside a Kaluza Klein higher dimensional space, called the bulk . If the additional dimension s are compact dimension compact , then the observed universe contains the extra dimensions, and then no reference to the bulk is appropriate. In the bulk model, at least some of the extra dimensions are extensive possibly infinite , and other branes may be moving through this bulk. Interactions with the bulk, and possibly with other branes, can influence our brane and thus introduce effects not seen in more standard cosmological models. Why gravity is weak The model can explain the weakness of gravity relative to the other fundamental forces of nature, thus solving the so called ...

Other uses Flatness disambiguation Flatness The concept of curvature of space is fundamental to physicalcosmologycosmology . A space without curvature is called a flat space or Euclidean space . Whether the universe is flat could determine its ultimate fate whether it will expand forever, or ultimately collapse back into itself. The geometry of spacetime has been measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe WMAP to be nearly flat. According to the WMAP 5 year results and analysis, WMAP determined that the universe is flat, from which it follows that the mean energy density in the universe is equal to the Friedman equations critical density within a 1 margin of error . This is equivalent to a mass density of 9.9 10 sup 30 sup g cm sup 3 sup , which is equivalent to only 5.9 protons per cubic meter. ref name WMAP 5 http wmap.gsfc.nasa.gov universe WMAP Universe.pdf NASA Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Cosmology, The Study of the Universe ref The WMAP data are consistent with a flat geometry, with 1.02 0.02.

The interaction of World 1 and World 2 The theory of interaction between World 1 and World 2 is an alternative theory to Cartesian dualism , which is based on the theory that the universe is composed of two essential substances Res Cogitans and Res Extensa . Popperian cosmology rejects this essentialism , but maintains the common sense view that physical and mental states exist, and they interact. The interaction of World 1 and World 2 is also an alternative to epiphenomenalism , where World 2 objects and events are real but do not have any Causality causal action on World 1. Popperian cosmology rejects this for the reason that downward Causality causation is not impossible.

This cosmology is similar to the Jain cosmology in that it proposes that the observable universe has no creator and is infinite in time and finite in size and surrounded by infinite space. However, in Ra lian cosmology, our observable universe is an atom of a much larger level of matter and possibly organism . It is also stated in Ra l s books that atoms of our atoms , or subatomic particles in our bodies, also possess universes like our own, but on a much smaller scale. This pattern, atom within universe within atom, is believed to be infinitely repetitive, from the infinitely small, to the infinitely large. The Ra lian Messages by Ra l state that humanoid extraterrestrials, who were originally called under the name Elohim singular Eloha , verified this cosmology scientifically.

Physicalcosmology In cosmology , recombination refers to the epoch astronomy epoch at which charged electron s and proton s in the universe first formed electric charge electrically neutral hydrogen atom s. ref group nb Note that the term recombination is a misnomer, considering that it represents the first time that electrically neutral hydrogen formed. ref After the Big Bang , the universe was a hot, dense plasma physics plasma of photon s, electrons, and protons. The interaction of photons with the plasma made the universe effectively opaque to radiation. As the universe expanded, it also cooled. Eventually, the universe cooled to the point that the formation of neutral hydrogen was energetically favored, and the fraction of free electrons and protons as compared to neutral hydrogen decreased to about 1 part in 10,000. Shortly after, photons decoupled from matter in the universe, which leads to recombination sometimes being called photon decoupling , although recombination and photon decoupling are distinct events. Once photons decoupled from matter, they free stream traveled freely through the universe without interacting with matter, and constitute what we observe today as cosmic microwave background radiation . Recombination occurred when the universe was roughly 380,000 years old, or at a redshift of z val 1100 . Derivation of recombination epoch It is possible to find a rough estimate of the redshift of the recombination epoch, starting by considering that during the era preceding recombination, the photons were primarily coupled to matter through the reaction math H gamma longleftrightarrow p e . math ref Ryden 2003 , p. 156. ref This reaction requires ... title Introduction to Cosmology publisher Addison Wesley year 2003 isbn 0805389121 url http books.google.com ?id z27vAAAAMAAJ CMB experiments Category Physicalcosmology ...
