Unambiguous Probabilities in an Eternally Inflating Universe
“Constants of Nature” and cosmological parameters may in fact be variables related to some slowly-varying fields. In models of eternal inflation, such fields will take different values in different parts of the universe. Here I show how one can assign probabilities to values of the “constants” measured by a typical observer. This method does not suffer from ambiguities previously discussed in t...
متن کاملQuantum creation of an Inhomogeneous universe
In this paper we study a class of inhomogeneous cosmological models which is a modified version of what is usually called the Lemâitre-Tolman model. We assume that we have a space with 2-dimensional locally homogeneous spacelike surfaces. In addition we assume they are compact. Classically we investigate both homogeneous and inhomogeneous spacetimes which this model describe. For instance one i...
متن کاملQuantum Fluctuation in the Inflating Universe
With the RFW metric ds = dt − R(t)d~x, the scale factor grows exponentially R(t) = R(0)e. We now switch to the conformally flat metric ds = R(η)(dη − d~x). Therefore, dt = R(η)dη, or equivalently, dη = ±R(t)−1dt = ±R(0)−1e−Htdt. Note that η is nothing but the size of the particle horizon, namely the comoving distance for which the light could propagate since the initial time. This differential ...
متن کاملangular magnification measurements consistent with an inhomogeneous critical density Universe ?
The propagation of light through a Universe of (a) isothermal mass spheres amidst (b) a homogeneous matter component, is considered. We demonstrate by an analytical proof that as long as a small light bundle passes through sufficient number of (a) at various impact parameters-a criterion of great importance-its average convergence will in the weak lensing limit exactly compensate the divergence...
متن کاملCosmological Magnetic Fields Limits in an Inhomogeneous Universe
We study the effect of inhomogeneities in the matter distribution of the universe on the Faraday rotation of light from distant QSOs and derive new limits on the cosmological magnetic field. The matter distribution in the Universe is far from being homogeneous and, for the redshifts of interest to rotation measures (RM), it is well described by the observed Ly-α forest. We use a log-normal dist...
