中文简介:
课程开始时回顾了之前关于宇宙起源和命运的问题。讨论了引力在宇宙膨胀中的作用,并将其作为膨胀率不能保持恒定并最终会减慢的原因。宇宙的实际密度是用各种方法计算出来的。最后,解决了暗物质这一尚未解决的问题,并提出了两个解释性假设。一个是宇宙由WIMP(弱相互作用的大质量粒子)组成,它们满足两个要求:它们有质量,不与光相互作用。第二种假设是,暗物质是由MACHO(大质量天体物理致密晕天体)组成的,科学家们试图通过引力透镜来识别这种物质。
课程简介: Class begins with a review of the issues previously addressed about the origin and fate of the universe. The role of gravity in the expansion of the universe is discussed and given as the reason why the rate of expansion cannot remain constant and will eventually slow down. The actual density of the universe is calculated using various methods. Finally, the unsolved problem of dark matter is addressed and two explanatory hypotheses are proposed. One is that the universe is comprised of WIMPs (Weakly Interactive Massive Particles) that fulfill two requirements: they have mass and do not interact with light. The second hypothesis is that dark matter is made of MACHOs (Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects), which scientists have attempted to identify through gravitational lenses.
关 键 词: 宇宙起源; 解释性假设; 引力透镜
