I was shown that adot^2/a^2 = c/a^3, adot = c / √(a), then da/dt = c / √(a) . Then I was told that I have to integrate this, but I don't understand where to go from there or how this will show me that the scale factor grows as t^(2/3).
Does the Friedmann vacuum equation have a linear solution rather than an exponential one?
Using natural units one can write Friedmann's equation for the vacuum as
$$
\begin{eqnarray*}
\left(\frac{\dot a}{a}\right)^2 &=& \frac{8\pi G}{3}\rho_{vac}\\\tag{1}
&=& L^2 \left(\frac{\rho_0}{L^4}\right)...
One simple question whether the k in the friedmann equation
H(t)2=∑8πGε(t)/3c2-k/a2
is something related to curvature or is simply constt.??
If related to curvature whether it is 1/R where R is the radius of the 3-sphere.??

Assume that the universe today is flat with both matter and a cosmological constant, the latter with energy density which remains constant with time. Integrate Eq. (1.2) to find the present age of the universe. That is, rewrite Eq. (1.2) as:

Friedmann Equation without the cosmological constant can be written as;
$$H^2=\frac {8πρG} {3}-\frac {1} {a^2(t)}$$
for ##Ω>1## (which in this case we get a positive curvature universe), and for a matter dominant universe;
$$ρ=\frac {1} {a^3(t)}$$

It has occurred to me that the Friedmann equation

This seems to say that independently of the value of the scale factor a, and the various Ωs, a static universe is possible. I am guessing that this solution is spurious and is a side effect of the...
Hi all
I want to ask a question about NFE(Newtonian Friedmann Equation).I know that NFE is not usefull to describe universe.But we can have a general idea about universe to use that formula.

In friedmann equation we start to make a model
kinetic energy-potantial energy=U
kinetic energy depends observer and referance frame so what's the referance frame and observer in this calculation.

Looking at the Friedmann equation

Are you confortable with the demonstration in page 19 of Introduction to Modern Cosmology - A. Liddle ? My problem is in particular eq. (3.4) when he writes the potential energy of a test particle. I think there is a factor of 2 missing in the denominator.
I'm a little confused about the density \rho in the equation:
H^2 = \left(\frac{\dot{a}}{a}\right)^2 = \frac{8 \pi G}{3}\rho - \frac{kc^2}{a^2}
