The Standard Dust Models (Λ=0)
•Dynamics: using the previous equations, we can rewrite eq. 7-18:
•
•
•And in the limit of large values of R, we get:
•
•
•This is easy to interpret.
–When Ω0 < 1, universe is open, hyperbolic, and expands to infinity with finite velocity.
–When Ω0 > 1, universe is closed, spherical, and eventually collapse after reaching a maximum size after a time:
