From https://commonphysics.wordpress.com/tag/physics/, where the tag line is “In science there is

  • nly physics, all the rest is stamp collecting.” Such hubris is why we’re still stuck with string theory.

CMB dominates energy density of photons in universe today Don’t know the mass of neutrinos, but energy density dominated by momentum and decoupling in early universe. Calculated to be: True for each neutrino flavor, so total is 3x above.

Relativistic Component: “Radiation” = Photons + Neutrinos

Radiation Matter: Dark Energy: Using evolution of each component with a, can compute when matter- dark energy and matter-radiation components were comparable

Can now solve for a(t) generically, if not necessarily analytically:

  • Empty
  • Matter only
  • classic case: open, closed, flat
  • Radiation only (+curvature)
  • Lambda only (+curvature)
  • Various Combinations!
