It is often seen in research papers that values of quintessence state parameter $\omega$ is taken between -1 and -1/3. However $\omega=-1$ corresponds to the cosmological constant and -1/3 corresponds to dust phase. Why these two cases are excluded in studying BH extended phase space thermodynamics?

##\omega = -1## corresponds to a cosmological constant, with de Sitter (exponential) expansion. ##-1 < \omega < -1/3## corresponds to quintessence-like stress energy -- these models have null singularities (i.e. genuine past singularities), whereas de Sitter models have regular null surfaces that can be smoothly extended (i.e. they can exist eternally into the past). ##w = -1/3## corresponds to inertial expansion. As you can see, different ##\omega## leads to different causal structures.
 
In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
So, to calculate a proper time of a worldline in SR using an inertial frame is quite easy. But I struggled a bit using a "rotating frame metric" and now I'm not sure whether I'll do it right. Couls someone point me in the right direction? "What have you tried?" Well, trying to help truly absolute layppl with some variation of a "Circular Twin Paradox" not using an inertial frame of reference for whatevere reason. I thought it would be a bit of a challenge so I made a derivation or...
I started reading a National Geographic article related to the Big Bang. It starts these statements: Gazing up at the stars at night, it’s easy to imagine that space goes on forever. But cosmologists know that the universe actually has limits. First, their best models indicate that space and time had a beginning, a subatomic point called a singularity. This point of intense heat and density rapidly ballooned outward. My first reaction was that this is a layman's approximation to...
