A Simple Quantum Cosmology
A simple and surprisingly realistic model of the origin of the universe can be developed using the Friedmann equation from general relativity, elementary quantum mechanics, and the experimental values of h̄, c, G and the proton mass mp. The model assumes there are N space dimensions (with N > 6), and the potential constraining the radius r of the invisible N − 3 compact dimensions varies as r. I...
متن کاملQuantum cosmology: a review.
In quantum cosmology, one applies quantum physics to the whole universe. While no unique version and no completely well-defined theory is available yet, the framework gives rise to interesting conceptual, mathematical and physical questions. This review presents quantum cosmology in a new picture that tries to incorporate the importance of inhomogeneity. De-emphasizing the traditional minisuper...
متن کاملChaos in Quantum Cosmology
Most of the foundational work on quantum cosmology employs a simple minisuperspace model describing a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe containing a massive scalar field. We show that the classical limit of this model exhibits deterministic chaos and explore some of the consequences for the quantum theory. In particular, the breakdown of the WKB approximation calls into question many of the s...
متن کاملQuantum Cosmology
We comment on two issues in quantum cosmology, in the context of the Wheeler–De Witt equation and wave function of the Universe: (i) arrow of time and interpretation of the wave function in the classically allowed regions; (ii) stability of an approximation of the Born–Oppenheimer type in classically forbidden regions of the scale factor.
متن کاملQuantum Cosmology.
If the cosmological evolution is followed back in time, we come to the initial singularity where the classical equations of general relativity break down. This led many people to believe that in order to understand what actually happened at the origin of the universe, we should treat the universe quantum-mechanically and describe it by a wave function rather than by a classical spacetime. This ...
