Abstract

A long-standing topic of interest in the general theory of relativity is the embedding of curved spacetimes in higher-dimensional flat spacetimes. The main purpose this paper is to show that the embedding theory can account for the accelerated expansion of the Universe and thereby serve as a model for dark energy. This result is consistent with earlier findings based on noncommutative geometry. A secondary objective is to show that the embedding theory also implies that it is possible, at least in principle, for the accelerated expansion to reverse to become a deceleration.
