Problem Statement for the Big Bang
Big bang cosmology has two big problems:
- The horizon problem.
All
separate, independent spacetime volumes of the early Universe must travel
at
the same velocity to create the uniform black body radiation spectrum seen in
the cosmic background radiation.
- The flatness problem.
The initial conditions must be tuned to one part in
so the mathematically
unstable solution lasts
years.
