Cosmology and effective stress

Conditional cosmological models and the constraints imposed by stress and dilution.

Current foundationsPaper overview and reading guideManuscript PDF available

This page is a reading guide written for the website. It is not the manuscript and does not reproduce its proofs. The manuscript PDF is linked below; authors, version and release date will be shown once verified. “Current foundations” does not by itself mean peer reviewed or experimentally confirmed.

Purpose

The question addressed

R11 builds conditional cosmological models and states the constraints that stress and dilution impose on them.

Mathematical starting point

Objects and premises used

  • The gravitational dynamics of R10, together with a homogeneous geometry, matter content and initial data.

Main results

What the paper establishes

  • Dilution and expansion claims require a defined stress tensor.
  • Under separately conserved, isotropic, traceless stress, a component behaves like radiation.

Explanation

Example: naming a component

A separately conserved, isotropic, traceless component dilutes like radiation. The same model cannot simply be renamed cold dark matter or dark energy.

Physical interpretation and scope

What connects this to physics

Cosmological claims inherit the premises of R10 and add their own geometry, content and initial data.
