Just as the Universe has a cosmic microwave background dating back to the time when the Universe was opaque to photons, it has a cosmic neutrino background dating back to the earlier time when the Universe was opaque to neutrinos. The calculated number density of cosmic neutrinos is nν = 3.36 × 108 m-3. (a) How many cosmic neutrinos are inside (and streaming through) the Earth at any given moment? (b) What average neutrino mass, mν, would be required to...

Assuming that the universe currently is well described by a density parameter Ω0 = 1, there is no dark energy and the current temperature of the universe is 2.73 K, compute how long from the present it will take for the universe to cool down by 0.2 K. Remember that the temperature of the universe is inversely proportional to its radius (the scale factor).

Expansion of the universe Q: What is the Cosmological Principle? Why is it not an exact statement? In what sense could it be true (on large scales a good approximation)? Q: What is Hubble’s Law? What does it say in simple terms? What is the pattern of galaxy motions relative to us? What are possible interpretations of this motion? Q: What is the cosmic scale factor? What does it measure? What is its value today? in the past? the future?
