The Derivation of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Peak Spectral Radiance, Planck Time, and the Hubble Constant from the Neutron and Hydrogen
Purpose: The cosmic microwave background radiation, CMB, is fundamental to observational cosmology, and is believed to be a remnant from the Big Bang. The CMB, Planck time, tP, and the Hubble…
Search for Scalar Top Quarks in Final States with Two Hadronically Decaying Tau Leptons ( Suche nach skalaren Top-Quarks in Endzuständen mit zwei hadronisch zerfallenden Tau-Leptonen )
Supersymmetry can resolve several shortcomings of the Standard Model, one of them being the hierarchy problem. Due to its large contribution to radiative corrections of the Higgs boson mass, the top…
Issues in the Philosophy of Cosmology
Geodesics in the Kerr-Newman anti de Sitter Spacetimes
In this work, the geodesic equations of motion of a test particle in the Kerr-Newman (KN) anti de Sitter spacetimes are presented in the light of the Hamiltonian-Jacobi formalism. We have examined,…
Tilted physics: A cosmologically dipole-modulated sky
Physical constants and cosmological parameters could vary with position. On the largest scales such variations would manifest themselves as gradients across our Hubble volume, leading to dipole…
Does a Theory of Everything Exist?
TLDR
This analysis, after defining requirements (which must include initial conditions), identifies four possible options for a Theory of Everything, and explains how theories define relationships between spacetime, quantum space, quantum time, and quantum gravity.
Hidden Dimensions Hypotheses
Galileo introduced the scientific method, based on observation of natural phenomena, their interpretation and validation on the base of verified results. Albert Einstein broke the pattern of…
p‐Adic and Adelic Cosmology: p‐Adic Origin of Dark Energy and Dark Matter
A brief review of p‐adic and adelic cosmology is presented. In particular, p‐adic and adelic aspects of gravity, classical cosmology, quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology and the wave function of the…
Discovering Nature’s Hidden Relationships, an Unattainable Goal?
Discovering hidden relationships, relationships that may reveal the secrets of nature, is a difficult if not impossible goal. This is primarily because the models of the two worlds, the Standard…
Induced CMB quadrupole from pointing offsets
Recent claims in the literature have suggested that the WMAP quadrupole is not primordial in origin, and arises from an aliasing of the much larger dipole field because of incorrect satellite…

The Cosmological Constant
TLDR
A pedagogical overview of cosmology in the presence of a cosmological constant, observational constraints on its magnitude, and the physics of a small (and potentially nonzero) vacuum energy are presented.
M theory, cosmological constant, and anthropic principle
We discuss the theory of dark energy based on maximally extended supergravity and suggest a possible anthropic explanation of the present value of the cosmological constant and of the observed ratio…
The cosmological constant is back
A diverse set of observations now compellingly suggest that the universe possesses a nonzero cosmological constant. In the context of quantum-field theory a cosmological constant corresponds to the…
The physics of microwave background anisotropies
The residual radiation from the Big Bang is observable as the cosmic microwave background–a near-uniform sea of photons with an average temperature of 2.7 K. Small variations in the temperature of…
Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies

Tests of Cosmological Models Constrained by Inflation
The inflationary scenario requires that the universe have negligible curvature along constant-density surfaces. In the Friedmann-Lemaitre cosmology that leaves us with two free parameters, Hubble's…
Scale-invariant density perturbations, anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background, and large-scale peculiar velocity field
