Friedmann Acceleration Equation
The Friedmann acceleration equation, incorporating pressure, is a fundamental equation in physical cosmology that describes the acceleration of the universe's expansion. It is given by:
\[ \frac{\ddot{a}}{a} = - \frac{4\pi G}{3} \left( \rho + \frac{3P}{c^2} \right) \]
- ä/a: Cosmic acceleration (inverse seconds squared, s⁻²). A negative value indicates deceleration, positive indicates acceleration.
- G: Gravitational Constant (approximately 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)
- c: Speed of Light in vacuum (approximately 2.998 × 10⁸ m/s)
- ρ (rho): Total Mass-Energy Density of the universe (kg/m³)
- P: Total Pressure within the universe (Pascals, Pa or N/m²)
