SUPERLUMINARY UNIVERSE: A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE INITIAL VALUE PROBLEM IN COSMOLOGY
@article{Moffat1993SUPERLUMINARYUA, title={SUPERLUMINARY UNIVERSE: A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE INITIAL VALUE PROBLEM IN COSMOLOGY}, author={J. Moffat}, journal={International Journal of Modern Physics D}, year={1993}, volume={02}, pages={351-365} }
The spontaneous breaking of local Lorentz invariance in the early Universe, associated with a first order phase transition at a critical time tc, generates a large increase in the speed of light and a superluminary communication of information occurs, allowing all regions in the Universe to be causally connected. This solves the horizon problem, leads to a mechanism of monopole suppression in cosmology and can resolve the flatness problem. After the critical time tc, local Lorentz (and… CONTINUE READING
