A Thermal Basis for Gravitational Quantum Vacuum Polarization
Descriptive Account of a Fundamental Process in a Friedman Dust Universe with Einstein's Lambda
James G. Gilson
A descriptive account is given for the dust universe Friedman lambda model of the universe developed earlier from general relativity by the present author. This description is wrapped around a new and very simple derivation of the model from first principles. The mathematics of this derivation rests on two classical physical equations, the formula for black body radiation and Newton's inverse square law of gravitation, so that without its descriptive wrapping the new derivation which does not involve general relativity directly would occupy about one page of this paper. The descriptive aspect is devoted to showing how the dust universe model can be decomposed into a many subunit form where each galaxy is seen as being a thermal cavity subunit. The time evolution of the whole universe can consequently be seen as being a bundling together of the thermal cavity elements to make up the time evolution structure of the whole universe. Finally, a cosmological Schr?dinger equation derived earlier by the present author is significantly generalized to make possible individual quantum state descriptions of the separate galactic thermal cavity elements. Some possible future generalizations of the structure are discussed.
