  2. Friedmann equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmann_equations

    Alexander Friedmann. The Friedmann equations, also known as the Friedmann–Lemaître (FL) equations, are a set of equations in physical cosmology that govern cosmic expansion in homogeneous and isotropic models of the universe within the context of general relativity.

  3. Friedmann–Einstein universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmann–Einstein_universe

    The Friedmann–Einstein universe is a model of the universe published by Albert Einstein in 1931. [1] The model is of historic significance as the first scientific publication in which Einstein embraced the possibility of a cosmos of time-varying radius.

  4. Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmann–Lemaître...

    In a strictly FLRW model, there are no clusters of galaxies or stars, since these are objects much denser than a typical part of the universe. Nonetheless, the FLRW model is used as a first approximation for the evolution of the real, lumpy universe because it is simple to calculate, and models that calculate the lumpiness in the universe are ...

  5. Shape of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe

    The Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) model using Friedmann equations is commonly used to model the universe. The FLRW model provides a curvature of the universe based on the mathematics of fluid dynamics, that is, modeling the matter within the universe as a perfect fluid. Although stars and structures of mass can be introduced ...

  6. Einstein–de Sitter universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein–de_sitter_universe

    The Einstein–de Sitter universe is a model of the universe proposed by Albert Einstein and Willem de Sitter in 1932. [1] On first learning of Edwin Hubble's discovery of a linear relation between the redshift of the galaxies and their distance, [2] Einstein set the cosmological constant to zero in the Friedmann equations, resulting in a model of the expanding universe known as the Friedmann ...

  7. Scale factor (cosmology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(cosmology)

    According to the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric which is used to model the expanding universe, if at present time we receive light from a distant object with a redshift of z, then the scale factor at the time the object originally emitted that light is () = +. [7] [8]

  8. Alexander Friedmann - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Friedmann

    Friedmann's 1924 papers, including "Über die Möglichkeit einer Welt mit konstanter negativer Krümmung des Raumes" ("On the possibility of a world with constant negative curvature of space") published by the German physics journal Zeitschrift für Physik (Vol. 21, pp. 326–332), demonstrated that he had command of all three Friedmann models ...

  9. Equation of state (cosmology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_state_(cosmology)

    The equation of state may be used in Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) equations to describe the evolution of an isotropic universe filled with a perfect fluid. If a {\displaystyle a} is the scale factor then ρ ∝ a − 3 ( 1 + w ) . {\displaystyle \rho \propto a^{-3(1+w)}.}
