Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

The time before which we don’t know what happened in the universe (10-43 s) is called the Planck time. The theory needed is a quantum theory of gravity and concerns the three fundamental constants h, G, and c.

Suppose that the universe were full of spherical objects, each of mass m and radius r .

Does the universe have a center? Explain.
What would be your estimate for the age of the universe if you measured Hubbleʹs constant to be 33 km/s/Mly? You can assume that the expansion rate has remained unchanged during the history of the universe.
*39 Will the universe continue to expand forever? To attack this question, assume that the theory of dark energy is in error and that the recessional speed v of a galaxy a distance r from us is determined only by the gravitational interaction of the matter that lies inside a sphere of radius r centered on us. If the total mass inside this sphere is M, the escape speed v, from the sphere is v. = V2GMIT (Eq. 13-28). (a) Show that to prevent unlimited expansion, the aver- age density p inside the sphere must be at least equal to ЗН 87G (b) Evaluate this "critical density" numerically; express your an- swer in terms of hydrogen atoms per cubic meter. Measurements of the actual density are difficult and are complicated by the pres- ence of dark matter.
Recent findings in astrophysics suggest that the observable universe can be modeled as a sphere of radius R=13.7x109 light-years=13.0 x 1025m with an average total mass density of about 1x10-26 kg/m3 Only about 4% of total mass is due to “ordinary” matter (such as protons, neutrons, and electrons). Estimate how much ordinary matter (in kg) there is in the observable universe. (For the light-year, see Problem 19.)
