Is the ratio of matter to radiation density constant in the universe? Or does it vary over time, as matter annihilates to radiation and vice-versa?
Ranku,Ranku said:While I should not plug my own work, recently I published a paper online on dark energy where I argue for a correlation between inertial mass density and the cosmological constant. Thus, if total matter density were not to be constant, that would affect the rate of acceleration of the universe, and thereby provide a way to test the correlation.

Discussion Guidelines
Generally, in the forums we do not allow the following:
Discussion of theories that appear only on personal web sites, self-published books, etc.
Challenges to mainstream theories (relativity, the Big Bang, etc.) that go beyond current professional discussion
Attempts to promote or resuscitate theories that have been discredited or superseded (e.g. Lorentz ether theory); this does not exclude discussion of those theories in a purely historical context
Personal theories or speculations that go beyond or counter to generally-accepted science
Mixing science and religion, e.g. using religious doctrines in support of scientific arguments or vice versa.

The ratio of matter to radiation density is a measure of the amount of matter and radiation present in the universe. It is typically expressed as a fraction or percentage of the total density of the universe.
The ratio of matter to radiation density is determined through various observational methods, such as measuring the cosmic microwave background radiation and studying the distribution of galaxies in the universe. These measurements provide insights into the relative amounts of matter and radiation in the universe.
The ratio of matter to radiation density plays a crucial role in the evolution of the universe. In the early stages of the universe, radiation dominated and drove rapid expansion. As the universe expanded and cooled, matter began to dominate, leading to the formation of structures like galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
Yes, the ratio of matter to radiation density changes over time as the universe expands and evolves. In the early universe, radiation was much more dominant, but as the universe expanded and cooled, matter became the dominant component.
The current estimate for the ratio of matter to radiation density is approximately 5:1. This means that for every 5 units of matter, there is 1 unit of radiation. However, this ratio is expected to change as the universe continues to evolve and expand.
