19 The FLRW stability theorem Theorem (I. Rodnianski & J.S. 2009, J.S. 2010) Assume that N 3 and 0 < c 2 s < 1/3. Then there exist constants ɛ 0 > 0 and C > 1 such that for all ɛ ɛ 0, if S N (0) C 1 ɛ, then there exists a future global causal geodesically complete solution to the Euler-Einstein system with Λ > 0. Furthermore, S N (t) ɛ ( continuation principle) holds for all t 0.

37 The Divergence Problem Electric field surrounding an electron: E (Maxwell) = ˆr r 2 Electrostatic energy: e (Maxwell) = E(Maxwell) R 2 dvol 3 = 4π 1 r=0 dr = r 2 Lorentz force: F (Lorentz) = qe (Maxwell) = Undefined (at the electron s location) Analogous difficulties appear in QED M. Born: The attempts to combine Maxwell s equations with the quantum theory (...) have not succeeded. One can see that the failure does not lie on the side of the quantum theory, but on the side of the field equations, which do not account for the existence of a radius of the electron (or its finite energy=mass).
