A model is suggested to unify the Einstein general relativity and Dirac cosmology. There is one adjusted parameter b2 in our model. After adjusting the parameter b2 in the model by using the supernova data, we have calculated the gravitational constant and the physical quantities a(t), q(t) and ρr(t)/ρb(t) by using the present day quantities as the initial conditions and found that the equation of state parameter wθ equals −0.83, the ratio of the density of the addition creation ΩΛ = 0.8 and…

It is shown that the original version of this theory disagrees with solar system observations, and is equivalent to a scalar-tensor theory in which the scalar field kinetic energy term is absent from the action.
