Acceleration of cosmic expansion through huge cosmological constant progressively reduced by submicroscopic information transfer
Abstract
In a previous paper (Ref. [1]) the presence of dark energy in our universe was explained as the fingerprint of a comprehensive, much older and expanding multiverse with positive spatial curvature, whose space-time is spanned by this energy, and which was created out of nothing. This concept is expanded by the addition of a model for explaining the decay of the mass density of dark energy from its origin until now by a factor of approximately 10-120. Elementary particles contain information about which laws of nature they obey, but not what exactly these are. Most likely, the laws are not followed by obedience to a categorical imperative. Rather, it is assumed, that from the very beginning the information about them is coded in submicroscopic patches of the space-time. The initial density i is supposed to belong to the unimpaired cosmological constant obtained from elementary particle theory. Due to its huge value it causes an extremely fast spatial expansion by which continuously new space-time elements are created. To them, the information about the physical laws must be transmitted from the already present space-time. This process needs time which with ever-increasing expansion velocity is getting scarcer and scarcer. It is concluded that this impedes the expansion through a friction-like process which can be described by a term proportional to the expansion-velocity. This term is subtracted from the expansion-acceleration. It is shown that the solutions thus obtained are also solutions of the cosmological standard equations employing a scalar field . In consequence, the present model can be considered as a re-interpretation of results which can be obtained with acknowledged methods.
