    Physics Starting my PhD in cosmology -- question about my career prospects

    Hello all,Next year, January I will start my PhD in Cosmology. Salary is fair and I don't have to pay the tuition fee. I always loved the idea of doing a thesis about Cosmology. My master's degree was about computational physics where I had to learn how to program in C/C++, Fortran, Matlab...

    B What fraction of the matter in the universe is in black holes?

    Conceptually, at least, this is a simple question, although I recognize that it might be hard to calculate in practice from available data. The matter-energy budget of the universe is measured (in a model dependent way) to consist of a certain percentage of dark energy, a certain percentage of...

    I Is suppressed gravitational pull a possible explanation for dark energy?

    One way to get the universe to expand is with dark energy that pulls at the matter of the galaxy separating it or equivalently for space-time to not be perfectly flat. An alternative, in principle, would be for the gravitational pull between objects like galaxies and galactic clusters to be...

    B Can this be another reason for dark energy?

The matter just after big bang would have been very close , so the gravitational attraction would have been very high , which would have caused the acceleration produced by big bang to decrease . As time increased...
