The Birth of Modern Cosmological TheoryThe Birth of Modern Cosmological Theory
• 1915 General Relativity Published by Einstein and Hilbert
• 1916 first Cosmological Model published by de Sitter (empty Universe)
• 1917 Einstein’s “static” Cosmological Constant Universe, de Sitter’s Universe.
• 1922 Friedmann’s solutions for homogenous and isotropic Universe

Birth of Observational Cosmology
Birth of Observational Cosmology
• 1916 Slipher finds redshift of galaxies• 1923 Hubble definitively shows galaxies are
beyond the Milky Way• 1927 Lemaitre’s “homogeneous Universe of constant
mass and growing radius accounting for the radial velocity of extragalactic nebulae”– Independently derived Friedmann Equations– Suggested Universe was expanding– Showed it was confirmed by Hubble’s data.
Mathematics accepted by Einstein, but basic idea rejected by Einstein as fanciful
• 1929 Hubble’s Expanding Universe– Lemaitre invoking to make Universe older than the
Solar System

Domination of the Universe
Domination of the Universe
• As Universe Expands– Photon density increases as (1+z)4
– Matter density increases as (1+z)3
– Cosmological Constant invariant (1+z)0
• Note that exactly flat Universe remains flat – i.e. Ωi=1
• Accelerating Models tend towards flatness overtime (w<-1/3)
• Non accelerating(w>-1/3) models tend away from flatness over time.

1998-2005The Rise of Baryon
Acoustic OscillationsFrom any initial density fluctuation, a expanding
spherical perturbation propagates at the speed of sound until recombination.
The physics of these baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) is well understood, and their manifestation as wiggles in the CMB fluctuation spectrum is modeled to very high accuracy – the 1st peak has a size of 147±2 Mpc (co-moving), from WMAP-5
![Page 52: The Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics Mount Stromlo Observatory](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e555503460f94b4c01a/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• Modelling shows that this scale is preserved in the Dark Matter and Baryons. A survey of the galaxy density field should reveal this characteristic scale.
• Need Gpc3 and 100,000 test particles to reasonably measure the acoustic scale. Angular measurement gives you an Angular-size distance to compare to the CMB scale - and potentially a redshift-based scale that measures H(z).
• The largest galaxy surveys to date, the 2dF, and Sloan Digital Sky Survey, have yielded a detection of the BAO at <z>=0.2 and <z>=0.35

Dark Energy ? Dark Energy ?only if the Universe is not homogenous or isotropic - Robertson Walker Metric invalid.
Occam’s Razor does not favour us living in the center of a spherical under-density whose size and radial fall-off is matched to the acceleration.Theoretical Discussion on whether or not the growth of structure can kink the metric in such a way to mimic the effects of Dark Energy. This is the only way out I can see - But controversial!

• In total, as near as we can tell the Universe is expanding just as a Cosmological Constant would predict.
• Observers are searching blindly, hoping to find something that distinguishes it from .
• Current currency that describes our progress is – uncertainty in the measurement of w – future progress is to be measured in the
w=w0+w1(a) plane
We need to remember this is parameterized ignorance. The Goal is to constrain physics based models, not essentially meaningless numbers.
