How can we even hope to comprehend this immensely
large complex Universe !?!
Look for an appropriate simple model
16
The Isotropic Universe
Distribution of galaxies on the sky is broadly
isotropic

• Isotropy around every point
• implies
• Homogeneity
• Cosmological principle
• FLRW models

The Isotropic Universe
Cosmic Microwave Background
Nobel prize 1978
Serendipitous discovery of the dominant
Radiation content of the universe as an
extremely isotropic, Black-body bath at
temperature T02.725 (/-0.002)K . Clinching
support for Hot Big Bang model
18
Cosmic Microwave Background
The dominant radiation component in the universe
400 CMB photons per cubic cm.
(D. Scott 99)

Cosmic Microwave Background
The most perfect Black-Body spectrum in nature

The CMB temperature A single number characterize
s the radiation content of the universe!!

The Expanding Universe
Einsteins General relativity applied to an
uniform distribution of matter on cosmic scales
leads to a smooth expanding universe
21
Expanding Universe
Hubbles law Recession velocity of galaxies is
proportional to the distance
Hubbles measurements in 1929
Frequency of light from a distant galaxy ?
Redshift, zv/c Redshift is related to distance

Distant galaxy
Equal time events at a distant galaxy appears
time-dilated
Frequency of light from a distant galaxy is
scaled by the expansion ? Redshift,
zv/c Redshift is related to distance

6 times more in dark matter than baryonic
matter

Evidence for Dark Energy?
Is it the Cosmological constant? The Cosmic
repulsive force Einstein once proposed and later
denounced as his biggest blunder ?
55
Geometry, Expansion Matter
Dark energy causes accelerated expansion
