Rescaled Friedmann Equation

Set $\tilde{a}=\frac{a}{a_0}, \;\rho_c=\frac{3H_0^2}{8\pi G},\; \Omega=\frac{\rho}{\rho_c},\; t=\frac{\tilde{t}}{H_0},\; \Omega_c=-\frac{kc^2}{H_0^2 a_0^2}\;$ , where and are separately the scale factor and the Hubble parameter today. Then we can have

where . For any form of the effective potential, there is an equation of state that will produce it.

Famous quotes containing the word equation:

“Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values. This week, the equation was twofold: female infidelity twice as bad as male abuse, the life of a woman half as valuable as that of a man. The killing of the woman taken in adultery has a long history and survives today in many cultures. One of those is our own.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
