SELFPROOF 0206 - FLATNESS PROBLEM

CURRENT COSMOLOGY MODEL

The flatness problem is a cosmological fine-tuning problem within the Big Bang model of the Universe. The parameter which appears fine-tuned is the density of matter and energy in the Universe. This value affects the curvature of spacetime, with a very specific critical value being required for a flat Universe. The current density of the Universe is observed to be very close to this critical value. Since the total density departs rapidly from the critical value over cosmic time, the early Universe must have had a density even closer to the critical density, departing from it by one part in 10
62 or less. This leads cosmologists to question how the initial density came to be so closely fine-tuned to this 'special' value. The most commonly accepted solution among cosmologists is cosmic inflation, the idea that the Universe went through a brief period of extremely rapid expansion in the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang.

MALTA COSMOLOGY TEMPLATE

  • The property measures of the Universe are the sum of the property measures of its teels and teelpairs. (see ARGUMENT 0121)
  • Thus the mass of the Universe is the sum of the mass of the teels it contains.
  • Thus the energy of the Universe is the sum of the kineticenergy, the potentialenergy, and the latentenergy of its teelpairs.
  • Thus the matter of the Universe is its mass modified by its energy. 
  • The Universe has a measure of mass and a measure of energy.
  • The measure of the Universe's mass is not "balanced" or "fine-tuned" against the measure of its energy.
  • A "universe" can have any measure of mass and energy.
  • Its measures of mass and energy at any specified moment will depend on its prior history.
  • What happens after a specified moment will depend upon its measures of mass and energy at that specified moment.

COMMENTARY

  • The Flatness Problem is founded in the belief that the Universe is a selfcontained unit with nothing outside it. 
  • Depending on the energy/matter density of the early Universe, the Current Cosmology Model universe can either be open, flat, or closed. 
  • The density seems to have been exactly right to make the Universe flat. 
  • Such fine tuning is difficult to believe in without there being a very good reason for it.
  • There is no Flatness Problem in the Malta Cosmology Template.
  • Its Universe is not a selfcontained unit. 
  • It is currently expanding within the uberuniverse.
  • The terms open, flat, or closed, as used in the Current Cosmology Model do not apply to the Universe of the Malta Cosmology Template.
