Cosmological Constant and the Final Anthropic Hypothesis
The influence of recent detections of a finite vacuum energy (”cosmological constant”) on our formulation of anthropic conjectures, particularly the so-called Final Anthropic Principle is investigated. It is shown that non-zero vacuum energy implies the onset of a quasiexponential expansion of our causally connected domain (”the universe”) at some point in the future, a stage similar to the inf...
متن کاملRealistic Cosmological Constant
Scenarios of supersymmetry breaking at various scales from TeV to GUT to the string are generated. A previous analysis generated the value of the experimentally measured cosmological constant from supersymmetry breaking at the TeV scale. Via a reorganization of the perturbative series, values of the cosmological constant are generically reconcilable with supersymmetry breaking scenarios having ...
متن کاملAnthropic predictions: the case of the cosmological constant
Anthropic models can give testable predictions, which can be confirmed or falsified at a specified confidence level. This is illustrated using the successful prediction of the cosmological constant as an example. The history and the nature of the prediction are reviewed. Inclusion of other variable parameters and implications for particle physics are briefly discussed.
متن کاملTesting the Cosmological Constant as a Candidate for Dark Energy
It may be difficult to single out the best model of dark energy on the basis of the existing and planned cosmological observations, because the parameter space of many different models can lead to similar observational consequences. However, each particular model can be studied and either found consistent with observations or ruled out. In this paper, we concentrate on the possibility to test a...
متن کاملToward the Formation of Realistic Galaxy Disks
In this review I demonstrate that a realistic model for the formation of galaxy disks depends on a proper treatment of the gas in galaxies. Historically, cosmological simulations of disk galaxy formation have suffered from a lack of resolution and a physically motivated feedback prescription. Recent computational progress has allowed for unprecedented resolution, which in turn allows for a more...
