What do people think of Fulvio Melia's argument for the necessity of "zero active mass" in FRW cosmologies? (i.e. the overall equation of state must be ##\rho+3p=0## at all times)

Here is a link to an interesting lecture video:



Here is a recent paper:

Since ##\rho + 3p = 0## is obviously false in the universe now, whatever argument he is making is flawed.

The abstract of this paper contains several obvious errors and misunderstandings. I note that the paper has not been peer reviewed or published in a journal.

A more relevant paper

Which still makes the same obviously false claim that ##\rho + 3p = 0##. This paper also has not been peer-reviewed or published in a journal.

The answer to your question is not going to change no matter how many papers by this author you find. Thread closed.
