6 Review of the Standard Model of the Big Bang Theory of the Origin of the Universe
7
8 Planck Era (t < sec) This era, the first instant, lasted for sec. Because we are as yet unable to link quantum mechanics (our successful theory of the very small) general relativity (our successful theory of the very large) We are powerless to describe what happened in this era sec after the Big Bang is as far back as our current science will allow us to go. We suppose that all four natural forces were unified during this era.
9 GUT ( Grand Unified Theory ) Era (10 43 < t < sec) The Universe contained two natural forces: gravity Grand Unified Theory (GUT) force electromagnetic + strong (nuclear) + weak forces unified This lasted until the Universe was sec old. at this time, the Universe had cooled to K the strong force froze out of the GUT force the energy released by this caused a sudden and dramatic inflation of the size of the Universe
10 Electroweak Era (10 38 < t < sec) The Universe contained three natural forces: gravity, strong, & electroweak This lasted until the Universe was sec old. at this time, the Universe had cooled to K the electromagnetic & weak forces separated This was experimentally verified in 1983: discovery of W & Z bosons electroweak particles predicted to exist above K
11 Particle Era (10 10 < t < 10 3 sec) The four natural forces were now distinct. Particles were as numerous as photons. When the Universe was 10 4 sec old quarks combined to form protons, neutrons, & their antiparticles At 10 3 sec old, the Universe cooled to K. protons, antiprotons, neutrons, & antineutrons could no longer be created from two photons (radiation) the remaining particles & antiparticles annihilated each other into radiation slight imbalance in number of protons & neutrons allowed matter to remain Electrons & positrons are still being created from photons.
12 Q. Which statement is incorrect? A. The electroweak force consists of electromagnetism and the weak force B. The first of the four elementary forces to freeze out in the Big Bang was the strong force C. The 4 elementary forces in nature consist of gravity, electromagnetism, strong force, weak force D. By 10-3 sec all four forces were distinct E. In the GUT Era, only gravity was a distinct force
13 Era of Nucleosynthesis (10 3 sec < t < 3 min) During this era, protons & neutrons started fusing but new nuclei were also torn apart by the high temperatures When the Universe was 3 min old, it had cooled to 10 9 K. at this point, the fusion stopped Afterwards, the baryonic matter leftover in the Universe was: 75% Hydrogen nuclei (i.e. individual protons) 25% Helium nuclei trace amounts of Deuterium (H isotope) & Lithium nuclei
14 Era of Nuclei (3 min < t < 3.8 x 10 5 yr) The Universe was a hot plasma of H & He nuclei and electrons. photons bounced from electron to electron, not traveling very far the Universe was opaque When the Universe was 380,000 yrs old it had cooled to a temperature of 3,000 K electrons combined with nuclei to form stable atoms of H & He the photons were free to stream across the Universe the Universe became transparent
15 Era of Atoms (3.8 x 10 5 < t < 10 9 yr) The Universe was filled with atomic gas. sometimes referred to as the Cosmic Dark Ages Density enhancements in the gas and gravitational attraction by dark matter eventually form protogalactic clouds the first star formation lights up the Universe which provokes the formation of galaxies
16 Era of Galaxies ( t > 10 9 yr) The first galaxies came into existence about 1 billion years after the Big Bang. This is the current era of the Universe.

18 Evidence for the Big Bang 1. Cosmic Background radiation 2. Cosmic helium abundance 3. Heavy element abundance 4. Expansion of the universe (galactic redshifts)
19 Evidence for the Big Bang Theory A good scientific model should make predictions which can be verified. The Big Bang model makes two predictions which have been verified since the 1960s: the existence and characteristics of the cosmic microwave background the expected Helium abundance in the Universe The model predictions agree with current observations.
20 Cosmic Microwave Background The Universe is immersed in a sea of radiation. This is the same radiation which was unleashed at the end of the Era of Nuclei. 380,000 years after the Big Bang, the Universe had cooled enough for free electrons to become bound into atoms of H & He without electrons to scatter them, photons were able to travel unhindered throughout the Universe the Universe became transparent
21 Cosmic Microwave Background The spectral distribution of this radiation was the same as radiation from a 3,000 K object. like the surface of a red giant Since then, the Universe s size has expanded 1,000 times. cosmological redshift has turned this radiation into microwaves. This Cosmic Microwave Background, predicted by theory was accidentally discovered in 1965 by Arno Penzias & Robert Wilson appeared to come from every direction had a perfectly thermal spectrum with a temperature of 2.73 K this is temperature one expects after expanding the Universe 1,000 times
22 Cosmic Microwave Background was mapped by the COsmic Background Explorer (COBE) in 1990s While very smooth and uniform across the sky COBE did find slight temperature variations from place to place on the level of a few parts in 100,000.
23 Cosmic Helium Abundance In the Era of Nucleosynthesis, i.e. the first three minutes number of protons & neutrons roughly equal as long as T > K below K, proton-to-neutron reactions no longer occur neutrons still decay into protons protons begin to outnumber neutrons At T < K, the products of fusion reactions no longer break up. Helium, Deuterium, & Lithium remain stable At this time, Big Bang model predicts a 7-to-1 proton:neutron ratio.
24 Cosmic Helium Abundance For every 2 n & 2 p + which fused into a Helium nucleus there are 12 p + or Hydrogen nuclei Model predicts a 3-to-1 H:He This what we observe: minimum of 25% He in all galaxies
25 Abundances of Other Light Nuclei By the time stable 4 He formed the Universe was too cool for He to fuse into C or other heavier nuclei 4 He could fuse with 3 H to form stable 7 Li Deuterium ( 2 H) is a leftover isotope. if densities had been greater, fusion would have gone faster, and more neutrons would have ended up in 4 He instead of 2 H nucleosynthesis models predict the amount of leftover 2 H for each density
26 Other light element abundances The measured abundance of 2 H is one for every 40,000 H atoms Compared to the model calculations the density of ordinary matter is 4% of the critical density. Density of matter appears to be more like 30% of the critical density. Majority of mass in the Universe is extraordinary, such as WIMPs.
27 Q. The standard Big Bang model predicts a ratio of hydrogen to helium in the Universe of? A. 1:3 B. 2:1 C. 3:1 D. 10:1 E. 3% helium
28 The Inflationary Universe
29 Shortcomings of the Original (c. 1980) Big Bang Model So far, we have considered the evidence which supports the Big Bang theory. Prior to 1980, cosmologists had identified three major questions which the theory was unable to answer: 1. Where does structure come from? 2. Why is the large-scale Universe so smooth? 3. Why is the density of matter almost critical? In 1981, physicist Alan Guth realized that the Grand Unified Theories could hold the answers to these questions. When the strong force froze out of the GUT force it should have released enough energy to expand the Universe times in less than sec we call this dramatic expansion inflation
30 Where Does Structure Come from? The density of matter in the early Universe had to differ slightly from place to place. otherwise, galaxies would never have formed traditional Big Bang model does not tell what caused density enhancements Quantum Mechanics: energy fields must fluctuate at a given point. Energy distribution is irregular on microscopic spatial scales These quantum ripples would be greatly magnified by inflation. Large ripples in energy are the seeds for the density enhancements. they imposed a pattern about which structure formed
31 Why is the Large-Scale Universe so Smooth? In all directions, the Cosmic Microwave Background is uniform. Traditional Big Bang model can not explain how two disparate parts of the Universe, beyond each other s cosmological horizon, can have the same temperature
32 Why is the Large-Scale Universe so Smooth? Inflation can solve this problem. the entire Universe was less than light-second across radiation signals could reach all points in the Universe temperatures were equalized then inflation expanded the Universe so quickly that many points in the Universe went out of communication with each other
33 Why is the Density of Matter Almost Critical? The gravitational pull of the Universe almost balances the kinetic energy of its expansion Why? if matter were at least 10% denser, Universe would have already collapsed if matter were at least 10% less dense, galaxies would have never formed According to General Relativity, an imbalance of these energies imposes a curvature of spacetime. but when they balance, we say that spacetime is flat The effect of rapid inflation is to flatten spacetime. thus, inflation imposed the balance of these energies
34 New Evidence for Inflation: WMAP In 2002, the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) measured the Cosmic Microwave Background with much more precision than COBE. It detected far more subtle, small-scale temperature variations.
35 WMAP map of Decoupling Era
36 New Evidence for Inflation A Big Bang model with inflation was fitted to: temperature variations plotted as angular separation on the sky the data are shown here Overall geometry of the Universe is flat. Total matter density is 27% of the critical density. in agreement with M/L in clusters of galaxies Density of baryonic (ordinary) matter is 4.4% of critical density. in agreement with observed abundance of Deuterium Flat geometry + matter density < critical implies dark energy. in agreement with accelerating expansion from white dwarf supernovae Age of the Universe is 13.7 billion years.
37 Evolution of a Universe Temperature variations in the 380,000 year-old Universe serve as a genetic code for the structure of the Universe today! Movie. Click to launch.
38 Olber s Paradox revisited If the Universe is infinite and filled with stars, then why is the night sky black? in every direction we look, we should eventually see a star the sky should be ablaze with light This paradox can be solved with an expanding Universe. Starlight gets redshifted out of the visible range Since light travels at a finite speed, if the Universe had a beginning, then there would be a limit on the number of visible stars
39 Lecture 25 Inflation ASTR 340 Fall 2006 Dennis Papadopoulos
40 Inflation What aspects of the universe were originally unexplained with the Big Bang theory? How does inflation explain these features? How can we test the idea of inflation?
41 What is Inflation Power law expansion rate of change R gets longer as the Universe expands. i.e. if R was 50% smaller 10 Gyars ago it will be a factor of 2 bigger 30 Gyears later Rate of change of R constant expansion exponential- Universe could expand by a factor of in a fe10-30 seconds In GR rate of expansion ρ 1/2 (doubling time~1/ρ 1/2 )
42 Mysteries Needing Explanation 1) Where does structure come from? 2) Why is the overall distribution of matter so uniform? 3) Why is the density of the universe so close to the critical density?
43 Mysteries Needing Explanation 1) Where does structure come from? 2) Why is the overall distribution of matter so uniform? 3) Why is the density of the universe so close to the critical density? An early episode of rapid inflation can solve all three mysteries!
44 How does inflation explain these features? 1 meter
45 Inflation can make all the structure by stretching tiny quantum ripples to enormous size These ripples in density then become the seeds for all structures
46 How can microwave temperature be nearly identical on opposite sides of the sky?
47 Regions now on opposite sides of the sky were close together before inflation pushed them far apart
48 Density = Critical Density > Critical Overall geometry of the universe is closely related to total density of matter & energy Density < Critical
49 Inflation of universe flattens overall geometry like the inflation of a balloon, causing overall density of matter plus energy to be very close to critical density
50 How can we test the idea of inflation?
51 Patterns of structure observed by WMAP show us the seeds of universe
52 Observed patterns of structure in universe agree (so far) with the seeds that inflation would produce
53 Seeds Inferred from CMB Overall geometry is flat Total mass+energy has critical density Ordinary matter ~ 4.4% of total Total matter is ~ 27% of total Dark matter is ~ 23% of total Dark energy is ~ 73% of total Age of 13.7 billion years
54 Seeds Inferred from CMB Overall geometry is flat Total mass+energy has critical density Ordinary matter ~ 4.4% of total Total matter is ~ 27% of total Dark matter is ~ 23% of total Dark energy is ~ 73% of total Age of 13.7 billion years In excellent agreement with observations of present-day universe and models involving inflation and WIMPs!
55 What have we learned? What aspects of the universe were originally unexplained with the Big Bang theory? The origin of structure, the smoothness of the universe on large scales, the nearly critical density of the universe How does inflation explain these features? Structure comes from inflated quantum ripples Observable universe became smooth before inflation, when it was very tiny Inflation flattened the curvature of space, bringing expansion rate into balance with the overall density of mass-energy
56 What have we learned? How can we test the idea of inflation? We can compare the structures we see in detailed observations of the microwave background with predictions for the seeds that should have been planted by inflation So far, our observations of the universe agree well with models in which inflation planted the seeds
