Goals of today’s lecture● Understand the Universe across time,
intuitively and as described with equations
● Understand the impact of almost invisibles on that system: neutrinos, dark matter, dark energy, even more hypothetical fields
● Get a sense of how we can measure the evolution of the Universe, and what that has told us so far
● Set foundation for lectures this week

Two principles we’ll use
● There is no special place in the Universe - it is homogeneous and isotropic
● Gravity is described by General Relativity

The density of a Universe with a bunch of stuff
● A general fluid is described by its equation of state● Some fluids we know:
○ (cold) matter: w=0○ radiation, relativistic matter: w=⅓○ cosmological constant: w=-1○ curvature: w=-⅓○ a fluid you have designed: w=w(t or a or ρ)
● Density changes with the expansion of the Universe as

The dynamics of a Universe with a bunch of stuff
● Given the current expansion rate , there is a
“critical density” that makes for a flat universe.
Critical density = the density of 𝛬 for an otherwise empty universe
● Expressing each component as a fraction of 𝜌c and integrating leads to the useful equation:
matter radiation

Understanding the history of the Universe:The hot universe
● somehow the vacuum energy must turn into radiation: reheating
● somehow in this primordial plasma, the abundance of matter exceeded the abundance of antimatter
● Neutrinos are initially coupled to this plasma,substantial share of energy density

● Expansion stops particle interactions: freeze out. The abundance of light nuclei today implies that the density of Baryons must be small.
● Eventually the Universe becomes diffuse/cold/transparent: relic photons as Cosmic Microwave Background until today

Dark MatterEvidence:
● Low abundance of ‘regular’ matter implied by primordial nucleogenesis + presence of massive structures today = most matter must be non-Baryonic
● Rotation curves / motions of galaxies: most of their gravity not due to stars/gas● Patterns in the CMB (see next time), expansion, and growth of structure imply that
the total density of matter must be ~6x the density of Baryons
Dark Matter could be:
● One or more stable, massive (now non-relativistic) particles from the primordial plasma that do not affect the formation of elements
● One or more stable, light particles that are present at non-relativistic speeds somehow● Standard model particles ruled out. Primordial black holes mostly ruled out.

Understanding the history of the Universe:Matter domination
● Gravitation slows the expansion of the Universe
● A lot of things that happen here are totally visible...○ Density fluctuations grow from 1/105 to unity○ Stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters form○ Supermassive black holes grow at centers of galaxies○ …○ But: all of these are closely related to dark matter clustering 28

● Requires about 70% or energy at present day to be in the form of vacuum energy density.○ This is strangely close to the matter density.○ This is ~a hundred orders of magnitude less than a
naive calculation of vacuum energy suggests.○ We do not have nearly as many clues to its nature as
in the case of dark matter.

The contents of our Universe
● Based on all observations, the universe is about 13.8 billion years old and today contains:
○ 70% vacuum energy
○ 25% dark matter
○ 5% baryons
● Time variations of dark energy equation of state are not well constrained
● Light new particles could influence early universe physics and expansion history

Two tensions● Measurements of local expansion rate H0 disagree with the
parameter needed to describe expansion history at >4σ
○ Could point at additional particle(s) / interactions in early Universe that change size of “standard ruler”
○ Could point at very recent additional acceleration
○ Could point at systematic errors
● Measurement of late-time density fluctuation amplitudes disagree with early-time fluctuation amplitude at ~2-3σ
○ Could point at additional particle(s) / interactions
○ Could point at modifications of gravity
○ Could point at statistical fluke or systematic errors
