AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a confusion regarding the transition of the term r_s^2 from the denominator in Equation 10 to the numerator in Equation 11 of a referenced article. It is clarified that this discrepancy arises from a typographical error, where the exponent should be -2 instead of the incorrect value presented. The replacement of G in Equation 10 with a numerical expression involving r_s^4 is also noted as part of the error. Participants agree that correcting the exponent resolves the confusion. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of careful review in mathematical expressions to avoid such misunderstandings.

I was reading an article and I saw this expression,

I don't understand how the ##r_s^2## in the denominator (in Eq.##10##), becomes the numerator in the Eq.##11## ?

Article is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/0708.1132

You can work out what's happened by comparing terms. ##G## in equation (10) has been replaced by some largely numerical expression times ##r_s^4##.
 

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.

Thread 'Rutgers finds a transparent Einstein Cross - apparently a dark matter "halo".'

The formal paper is here. The Rutgers University news has published a story about an image being closely examined at their New Brunswick campus. Here is an excerpt: Computer modeling of the gravitational lens by Keeton and Eid showed that the four visible foreground galaxies causing the gravitational bending couldn’t explain the details of the five-image pattern. Only with the addition of a large, invisible mass, in this case, a dark matter halo, could the model match the observations...

Thread 'Big Bang and Infinite Universe'

Hi, I’m pretty new to cosmology and I’m trying to get my head around the Big Bang and the potential infinite extent of the universe as a whole. There’s lots of misleading info out there but this forum and a few others have helped me and I just wanted to check I have the right idea. The Big Bang was the creation of space and time. At this instant t=0 space was infinite in size but the scale factor was zero. I’m picturing it (hopefully correctly) like an excel spreadsheet with infinite...
