  2. Friedmann equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmann_equations

    The density parameter Ω is defined as the ratio of the actual (or observed) density ρ to the critical density ρ c of the Friedmann universe. The relation between the actual density and the critical density determines the overall geometry of the universe; when they are equal, the geometry of the universe is flat (Euclidean).

  3. Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmann–Lemaître...

    Astronomy portal. v. t. e. The Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric (FLRW; / ˈfriːdmən ləˈmɛtrə ... /) is a metric based on an exact solution of the Einstein field equations of general relativity. The metric describes a homogeneous, isotropic, expanding (or otherwise, contracting) universe that is path-connected, but not ...

  4. Scale factor (cosmology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(cosmology)

    Scale factor (cosmology) The expansion of the universe is parametrized by a dimensionless scale factor . Also known as the cosmic scale factor or sometimes the Robertson–Walker scale factor, [1] this is a key parameter of the Friedmann equations. In the early stages of the Big Bang, most of the energy was in the form of radiation, and that ...

  5. Lambda-CDM model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model

    The fraction of the total energy density of our (flat or almost flat) universe that is dark energy, , is estimated to be 0.669 ± 0.038 based on the 2018 Dark Energy Survey results using Type Ia supernovae [8] or 0.6847 ± 0.0073 based on the 2018 release of Planck satellite data, or more than 68.3 % (2018 estimate) of the mass–energy density ...

  6. Flatness problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatness_problem

    Flatness problem. The local geometry of the universe is determined by whether the relative density Ω is less than, equal to or greater than 1. From top to bottom: a spherical universe with greater than critical density (Ω>1, k>0); a hyperbolic, underdense universe (Ω<1, k<0); and a flat universe with exactly the critical density (Ω=1, k=0 ...

  7. Accelerating expansion of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_expansion_of...

    The Friedmann equation defines how the energy in the universe drives its expansion. = ... ρ is the total energy density of the universe, and H is the Hubble parameter.

  8. Deceleration parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deceleration_parameter

    t. e. The deceleration parameter in cosmology is a dimensionless measure of the cosmic acceleration of the expansion of space in a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker universe. It is defined by: where is the scale factor of the universe and the dots indicate derivatives by proper time. The expansion of the universe is said to be ...

  9. Friedman number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_number

    There usually are fewer 2-digit Friedman numbers than 3-digit and more in any given base, but the 2-digit ones are easier to find. If we represent a 2-digit number as mb + n, where b is the base and m, n are integers from 0 to b−1, we need only check each possible combination of m and n against the equalities mb + n = m n, and mb + n = n m to see which ones are true.
