We show that the cosmic bulk viscosity estimated in our previous works is sufficient to bridge the [Formula: see text] value inferred from observations of the early universe with the value inferred from the local (late) universe.

Bulk viscosity driving the acceleration of the Universe
• Physics
• 2006
The possibility that the present acceleration of the Universe is driven by a kind of viscous fluid is exploited. At background level this model is similar to the generalized Chaplygin gas modelExpand
