Cosmological Interlude

Since we have been playing a lot with the dimension $27$, let us recall the one universal Koide phase, in the form $\phi = 1/9 \pi$. This is the usual $2/9$ phase divided by $2 \pi$. As it happens, the fraction of baryonic matter in our universe is exactly

$\Omega_b = 1 - 27 \phi = 1 - 3/ \pi$

as predicted by Louise Riofrio many years ago, and recently confirmed by WMAP. The $3/ \pi$ is a dark matter fraction. It may be thought of as an inverse sixth root of unity, where $6$ labels the dimension of the (dual) tetractys neutrino path space.

  1. My guess is that Louise got no recognition for this?

  2. That would be correct, Macengr, despite the fact that her cosmology is now taken seriously.

  3. The river was once cold, and now she is very hot. Rio Frio.

    How dare some posters comment negatively to such a daring picture having nothing better to give us?

    I have long felt the search for dark "matter" be it hot or cold is a lesser idea compared to our general understanding of energy and topology.

  4. So I presume that the supposed fraction of dark matter is then %95.5? If this is the case, how is this consistent with that inferred from the CMB power spectrum? I thought the ratio of baryonic to dark matter was fixed by looking at the relative size of peaks in the power spectrum, and this certainly does not result in the dark matter density being 25 times more than the baryonic.

  5. Evil, if you had been following this story you would know that Louise has also estimated the 0.23872 (see here).

  6. Ok, so then apparently in this model the total matter density is not equal to one. However, we know from the power spectrum that the universe is flat and Omega should equal unity. So what makes up the rest of the energy density in her model?

  7. $\Omega = 1$. There is more than one dark sector component. Most dark matter is in the form of black holes, and this possibility has not been ruled out by WMAP. On the contrary, the standard cosmology has been ruled out by WMAP, and many observations continue to provide evidence for the black hole scenario.

  8. Well, I think your statement that the standard cosmology has been ruled out by WMAP is somewhat far from being correct. Furthermore, I don't believe that there is any evidence that most of the dark matter is in the form of black holes. This is basically just wishful thinking on your part. In any case, I don't see how black holes would have a different signature in the CMB power spectrum than standard non-baryonic dark matter.

  9. Evil, you are expressing an opinion that we have heard a gazillion times before. Try to be a bit more original. As a member of the species Anonymous Cowardus, you will have to try much harder to earn our respect.

  10. Dear Kea,

    No matter how much you might disagree, facts are what they are and reality is what it is. Just because you want something to be true, contrary to all available data, it isn't going to happen. Resorting to name-calling and other tactics against those who critically examine your ideas isn't going to win YOU any respect, particularly from the scientific community.
