Cosmology is an evolutionary science (at least in principle) which does not allow controlled repetition of the system. (We cannot build a universe in a laboratory). Analogy with archaeology, geology, paleo-biology.
Units in astronomy:
• Astronomical Unit AU = 150 millions km (Earth/Sun distance)
• Parsec = 3.26 light years (ly)
• Light Year = 9.46 x 10^15 m

The Universe as seen by us is strongly dishomogeneus and anisotropic.
This statement holds true also on the galactic scales (kpc distances)
….and remains true also on the scale of galaxy clusters (Mpc distances)
However, if seen from distances of 100 Mpc or more, the universe gets homogeneus and isotropic. This is homogeneity and isotropy at large scales!

Cosmological Red Shift
Radiation is emitted from stars and other celestial bodies
This radiation has the same physical origin of the radiation we study in terrestrial laboratories (e.g. atom absorption and emission).
Stellar evolution and many other branches of astrophysics are based on such evidence. E.g. chemical composition of star surfaces are well known.
The radiation emitted by any source can be affected by the Doppler effect if there is a relative motion between the source and the receiver

Since our position in the Universe is hardly a privileged one, galaxy superclusters recede from each other with the cosmological Hubble law. Universe is expanding!
Two immediate consequences:
• In the far past all matter was lumped in very little space (the Big Bang)
• The timescale for this is roughly 1/H (assuming the expansion law was the same all over, which is not really the case)

The Universe is expanding into what ?
It is the space itself that is expanding? Yes.
Are rulers expanding? No, only gravitationally independent systems participate in the expansion!
The Hubble law is a linear expansion law which generates an homologous expansion (it is the same as seen from every Galaxy)
H = 70 ± 7 km/sec Mpc
The expansion looks the same as seen from A or from B

When E(γ) > 13.6 eV radiation and matter are coupled. This took place at cosmic time 400,000 yrs. Radiations is in equilibrium with atoms.
Before this era, let us imagine: nuclei, electrons and radiation, at some T.
Energy ~ kT. Electrons streaming freely at this point.

Then by going backward some more in time energy increases to give a mean energy 10 MeV. Therefore the reactions
became possible. These reactions mix p and n together making nucleosynthesis impossible. This is T around 10^10 K (and cosmic time 0.1 sec).

To summarize, a timeline of important events:
• T>10^10 K, E>10 MeV, t<0.1 sec . Neutrons and protons kept into equilibrium by weak interactions. Neutrinos and photons in equilibrium.
• t = 1 sec. No more p/n equilibrium. Beginning of nucleosyntesis. Neutrinos decoupling from matter.
• T=10^9 K ,E =1 MeV, t= 100 sec. Positrons and electrons annihilate into photons
• t = 300 sec nucleosysnthesis finished because of low energy available and no more free neutrons around Low mass nuclei abundance fixed
• Protons, photons, electrons, neutrinos (decoupled)
• T=5000 K, E=10 eV, t=400,000 years. No more radiation,e,p equilibrium. Atoms formation (hydrogen, helium). Photons decouple CMB

Primordial NucleosynthesisGamow, Alpher and Herman proposed that in the very early Universe, temperature was so hot as to allow fusion of nuclei, the production of light elements (up to Li), through a chain of reactions that took place during the first 3 min after the Big Bang.
The elemental abundances of light elements predicted by the theory agree with observations.
Y ~ 24% Helium mass abundance in the Universe

Cosmic Microwave Background
Probably the most striking evidence that something like the Big Bang really happened is the all pervading Cosmic Background predicted by G. Gamow in 1948 and discovered by Penzias and Wilson in 1965.
This blackbody gamma radiation originated in the hot early Universe.
As the Universe expanded and cooled the radiation cooled down.

By way of summary, the 3 experimental evidences for Big Bang:
• Red shift (Cosmic Expansion)
• Primordial Nucleosynthesis
• Cosmic Microwave Background
Key concepts of the Hot Big Bang Model:
• General Relativity as a theory of Gravitation
• (Inflation)

If gravitation does not depend on the characteristics of a body then it can be ascribed to spacetime. It is a spacetime property.

Equivalence between inertial mass and gravitational mass
Free fall in gravitational field (apple from a tree) cannot be distinguished from acceleration (the rocket)
1. Free fall the same for every body geometric theory of gravitation
2. Gravitation equivalent to non-inertial frames (EP)

Einstein replaced the idea of force with the idea of geometry. To him the space through which objects move has an inherent shape to it and the objects are just travelling along the straightest lines that are possible given this shape (J. Allday).
Understanding gravitation requires understanding space-time geometry.

Some consequences:
• The angles in a triangle when added together sum up to 180°
• The circumference of a circle divided by its diameter is a fixed number :
• In a right angled triangle the lengths of the sides are related by

Euclid geometry is a description of our common sense (= classical physics) three-dimensional space
However there are spaces that do not obey Euclid axioms. Spaces having a non-Euclidean geometry. We will consider the (2-dimensional) example of the surface of a sphere.
What are the “straight lines” on the sphere surface? They are the great cirlces! (the shortest path between two point is an element of a great circle).
Now, suppose we choose A as a point and we draw from B the parallel to A.
They meet at the North Pole!
(Euclid axiom does not hold)
![Page 29: Large scale structure of the Universe Hot Big Bang Theory Concepts of General Relativity](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815bdf550346895dc9d005/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Another consequence: the sum of the angles of a triangle is higher than 180°
With the example of a bidimensional space (the sphere surface) we have shown the existence of non-Euclidean (Riemannian) spaces. In this case parallel axiom does no hold true!Einstein’s theory replaced gravity as a force with the notion that space can have a different geometry from the Euclidean. It is a curved space.
The sphere surface is 2-d and is a curved space when seen from “outside” (3-d)
We live in a 4-d curved (by gravity) spacetime
Three kind of geometry are in general possible (depending on energy content of Universe)

A picture of the Universe expansion can be drawn by using the surface of the sphere analogy
In the surface of the sphere analogy, the geometry is non-Euclidean (but locally Euclidean) and the space has a positive curvature.
The “center of the Universe” lies outisde of the Universe
The Big Bang takes place everywhere!
The evidence is recession of other parts of the Universe from us
This space is closed (one can go all the way around and get back to the same place)
Geometry locally Euclidean means neglecting the curvature (or neglecting gravity). It is Minkowski space.
Our Universe 4-d expansion is in analogy with this toy-model

Friedmann Models (Newtonian version)Friedmann Models (Newtonian version)
Friedmann Models are models of the Universe as (large-scale) systems that are governed by (General Relativity) physical laws.
Recipe:
- Use the General Relativity Law (means selecting the equations)
- Assume the Universe in Homogeneus and Isotropic (means selecting a metric)
- Assume an energy content for the universe (means selecting E-p tensor)
Result: Equations for the evolution of the Universe (Friedmann, LeMaitre)
Let us start with a Newtonian model

Dark MatterDark Matter
This is a golden era for cosmology:
• Measurements of the CMB (and its anisotropies)
• Existence of Dark Matter
• Existence of Cosmological Constant
In this section we discuss evidence for Dark Matter
Popular wisdom: that the matter in the Universe is made of ordinary baryons (the so called barionic matter). This matter has the property of emitting radiation (being mostly concentrated in stars).
However, there seems to be more matter than the one which is visible.
![Page 39: Large scale structure of the Universe Hot Big Bang Theory Concepts of General Relativity](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815bdf550346895dc9d005/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The presence of Dark Matter is deduced by using its gravitational effect on luminous matter. At different scales!
For instance, let us consider a spiral galaxy and plot the velocity of matter in the galaxy as a function of the distance from the center:
Keplerian rotation: due to gravitational force
This can be explained by the existence of a halo of matter surrounding the galaxy

In clusters of Galaxies: a galaxy cluster is a group of galaxies held together by their own gravity. However, when we measure the speed with which each galaxy moves, it appears a lot more gravity is required to hold the cluster together than can be explained by the stars we can see. Therefore, there must be a lot of dark matter that we can’t see.
Cosmological scale Gravitational lensing effect.
The light from a far away source is deflected by Dark Matter: distortions and multiple images (Einstein Rings)

So, what is dark matter ?So, what is dark matter ?• MACHO’s (Massive Compact Halo Objects): Black Holes, Planets, Dead Stars
• Non-baryonic Matter (particle physics explanation): WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) like neutralinos, neutrinos
Some Einstein rings observed by Hubble Space Telescope
Dark Matter is about 90% of the total matter in the Universe ! !

The Friedmann Model strikes backThe Friedmann Model strikes back
Friedmann Models are models of the Universe as (large-scale) systems that are governed by (General Relativity) physical laws.
Result: Equations for the evolution of the Universe (Friedmann, LeMaitre)
Let us do the “full” model
Recipe:
- Use the General Relativity Law (means selecting the equations)
- Assume the Universe in Homogeneus and Isotropic (means selecting a metric)
- Assume an energy content for the universe (means selecting E-p tensor)

The cosmological constant
The cosmological constant is an extra term in Einstein’s equation of General Relativity which physically represents the possibility that there is a density and pressure associated with “empty” space. This term acts as a “negative” pressure.

Data indicates that the dynamics of the Universe is dominated by Dark Matter and Cosmological Constant. And that the Universe is geometrically flat.
In other words the equation is effectively

The energetics of the Universe is mostly determined by the Matter component (30% of total energy, which is 95% Dark Matter) and the Cosmological Constant (70% of total energy content)
