We show that the concept of entropy and the dynamics of gravitation provide the linchpin in a unified scheme to understand the physics of black hole computers, spacetime foam, dark energy, dark matter and the phenomenon of turbulence. We use three different methods to estimate the foaminess of spacetime, which, in turn, provides a back-door way to derive the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for black hole entropy and the holographic principle. Generalizing the discussion for a static spacetime region to the cosmos, we find a component of dark energy (resembling an effective positive cosmological constant of the correct magnitude) in the current epoch of the universe. The conjunction of entropy and gravitation is shown to give rise to a phenomenological model of dark matter, revealing the natural emergence, in galactic and cluster dynamics, of a critical acceleration parameter related to the cosmological constant; the resulting mass profiles are consistent with observations. Unlike ordinary matter, the quanta of the dark sector are shown to obey infinite statistics. This property of dark matter may lead to some non-particle phenomenology and may explain why dark matter particles have not been detected in dark matter search experiments. We also show that there are deep similarities between the problem of “quantum gravity” (more specifically, the holographic spacetime foam) and turbulence.

In this paper, we address several fundamental issues in cosmology: What is the nature of dark energy and dark matter? Why is the dark sector so different from ordinary matter? Why is the effective cosmological constant nonzero but so incredibly small? What is the reason behind the emergence of a critical acceleration parameter of magnitude 10-8 cm/s2 in galactic dynamics? We suggest that the holographic principle is the linchpin in a unified scheme to understand these various issues.

Friedmann Robertson Walker

A cosmological scenario where dark matter interacts with a variable vacuum energy for a spatially flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) spacetime is proposed and analyzed to show that with a linear equation of state and a particular interaction in the dark sector it is possible to get a model of an Emergent Universe. In addition, the viability of two particular models is studied by taking into account the recent observations. The updated observational Hubble data and the JLA supernovae data are used in order to constraint the cosmological parameters of the models and estimate the amount of dark energy in the radiation era. It is shown that the two models fulfil the severe bounds of [Formula: see text] at the 2[Formula: see text] level of Planck.

De Sitter Vacuum

We present a graviatom with de Sitter interior as a new candidate to atomic dark matter generically related to a vacuum dark energy through its de Sitter vacuum interior. It is a gravitationally bound quantum system consisting of a nucleus represented by a regular primordial black hole (RPBH), its remnant or gravitational vacuum soliton G-lump, and a charged particle. We estimate probability of formation of RPBHs and G-lumps in the early Universe and evaluate energy spectrum and electromagnetic radiation of graviatom which can in principle bear information about a fundamental symmetry scale responsible for de Sitter interior and serve as its observational signatures.

The Universe

In this paper, the cosmology of the late and future universe is obtained from f(R) gravity with nonlinear curvature terms R2 and R3 (R is the Ricci scalar curvature). It is different from f(R) dark energy models where nonlinear curvature terms are taken as a gravitational alternative to dark energy. In the present model, neither linear nor nonlinear curvature terms are taken as dark energy. Rather, dark energy terms are induced by curvature terms and appear in the Friedmann equation derived from f(R) gravitational equations. This approach has an advantage over f(R) dark energy models in three ways: (i) results are consistent with WMAP observations, (ii) dark matter is produced from the gravitational sector and (iii) the universe expands as ~ t2/3 during dominance of the curvature-induced dark matter, which is consistent with the standard cosmology. Curvature-induced dark energy mimics phantom and causes late acceleration. It is found that transition from matter-driven deceleration to acceleration takes place at the redshift 0.36 at time 0.59 t0 (t0 is the present age of the universe). Different phases of this model, including acceleration and deceleration during the phantom phase, are investigated. It is found that expansion of the universe will stop at the age of 3.87 t0 + 694.4 kyr. After this epoch, the universe will contract and collapse by the time of 336.87 t0 + 694.4 kyr. Further, it is shown that cosmic collapse obtained from classical mechanics can be avoided by making quantum gravity corrections relevant near the collapse time due to extremely high energy density and large curvature analogous to the state of the very early universe. Interestingly, the cosmological constant is also induced here; it is extremely small in the classical domain but becomes very high in the quantum domain. This result explains the largeness of the cosmological constant in the early universe due to quantum gravity effects during this era and its very low value in the present universe due to negligible quantum effect in the late universe.

Interactions inside the cosmological dark sector influence the cosmological dynamics. As a consequence, the future evolution of the Universe may be different from that predicted by the ΛCDM model. We review main features of several recently studied models with nongravitational couplings between dark matter and dark energy.

Since 1980, our empirical knowledge of the universe has advanced tremendously and precision cosmology has become a reality. These developments have been largely technology-driven, the result of increased computer power, new generations of telescopes for all wavebands, new types of semiconductor detectors, such as CCDs, and major investments by many nations in superb observing facilities. The discipline also benefitted from the influx of experimental and theoretical physicists into the cosmological arena. The accuracy and reliability of the values of the cosmological parameters has improved dramatically, many of them now being known to about 1%. The ΛCDM model provides a remarkable fit to all the observational data, demonstrating that the cosmological constant is non-zero and that the global geometry of the universe is flat. The underlying physics of galaxy and large-scale structure formation has advanced dramatically and demonstrated the key roles played by dark matter and dark energy.

Conformal Theory

We show that the origin of the dark matter and dark energy problems originates in the assumption of standard Einstein gravity that Newton's constant is fundamental. We discuss an alternate, conformal invariant, metric theory of gravity in which Newton's constant is induced dynamically, with the global induced one which is effective for cosmology being altogether weaker than the local induced one needed for the solar system. We find that in the theory dark matter is no longer needed, and that the accelerating universe data can be fitted without fine-tuning using a cosmological constant as large as particle physics suggests. In the conformal theory then it is not the cosmological constant which is quenched but rather the amount of gravity that it produces.
