25 Why Λ > 0? Answer # 1: Einstein was the first to envision Λ : he was looking for static solutions. Answer # 2: In 1929, Hubble formulated an empirical law," which was based on observations of the redshift effect, and which suggested that the universe is expanding. Hubble s law:" galaxies are receding from Earth, and their velocities are proportional to their distances from it. In the 1990 s: data from type Ia supernovae and the Cosmic Microwave Background suggested accelerated expansion. Λ > 0 = solutions with accelerated expansion. e.g. g = dt 2 + e 2( Λ/3)t 3 a=1 (dx a ) 2

35 Comparison with flat space Christodoulou s monograph The Formation of Shocks in 3-Dimensional Fluids" shows that on the Minkowski space background, shock singularities can form in solutions to the irrotational fluid equation arising from data that are arbitrarily close to that of a uniform quiet state. Conclusion: Exponentially expanding spacetimes can stabilize irrotational fluids.
