The evolution of the universe in asymmetric cosmic time

Abstract

The Cosmic Time Hypothesis (CTH) presented in this paper is a purely axiomatic theory. In contrast to today's standard model of cosmology, the ɅCDM model, it does not contain empirical parameters such as the cosmological constant Ʌ, nor does it contain sub-theories such as the inflation theory. The CTH was developed solely on the basis of the general theory of relativity (GRT), aiming for the greatest possible simplicity. The simplest cosmological model permitted by ART is the Einstein-de Sitter model. It is the basis for solving some of the fundamental problems of cosmology that concern us today. First of all, the most important results of the CTH: It solves one of the biggest problems of cosmology the problem of the cosmological constant (Ʌ)-by removing the relation between and the vacuum energy density ɛv (Λ=0, ɛv > 0). According to the CTH, the vacuum energy density ɛv is not negative and constant, as previously assumed, but positive and time-dependent (ɛv ̴ t -2). ɛv is part of the total energy density (Ɛ) of the universe and is contained in the energy-momentum tensor of Einstein's field equations. Cosmology is thus freed from unnecessary ballast, i.e. a free parameter (= natural constant) is omitted (Ʌ = 0). Conclusion: There is no "dark energy"! According to the CTH, the numerical value of the vacuum energy density v is smaller by a factor of ≈10-122 than the value calculated from quantum field theory and is thus consistent with observation. The measurement data obtained from observations of SNla supernovae, which suggest a currently accelerated expansion of the universe, result - if interpreted from the point of view of the CTH - in a decelerated expansion, as required by the Einstein-de Sitter universe. Dark matter could also possibly not exist, because the KZH demands that the "gravitational constant" is time-dependent and becomes larger the further the observed objects are spatially and thus also temporally distant from us. Gravitationally bound local systems, e.g. Earth - Moon or Sun - Earth, expand according to the same law as the universe. This explains why Hubble's law also applies within very small groups of galaxies, as observations show. The CTH requires that the strongest force (strong nuclear force) and the weakest (gravitational force) at Planck time (tp ≈10-43 seconds after the "big bang") when all forces of nature are supposed to have been united in a single super force, were of equal magnitude and had the same range. According to the KZH, the product of the strength and range of the gravitational force is constant, i.e. independent of time, and is identical to the product of the strength and range of the strong nuclear force. At Planck time, the universe had the size of an elementary particle (Rp = rE ≈10-15 m). This value also corresponds to the range of the strong nuclear force (Yukawa radius) and the Planck length at Planck time. The CTH provides a possible explanation for Mach's first and second principles. It solves some old problems of the big bang theory in a simple and natural way. The problem of the horizon, flatness, galaxy formation and the age of the world. The inflation theory thus becomes superfluous. • The CTH provides the theoretical basis for the theory of Earth expansion • In Cosmic Time, there was no Big Bang. The universe is infinitely old. • Unlike other cosmological models, the CTH does not require defined "initial conditions" because there was no beginning. • The CTH explains why the cosmic expansion is permanently in an unstable state of equilibrium, which is necessary for a long-term flat (Euclidean), evolutionarily developing universe.
