Flat Space Cosmology

Flat Space Cosmology (FSC) is presented as the main rival to the inflationary standard model of the universe. The book gathers research built on the FSC framework, covering new proposals about black holes, dark energy and dark matter, and it argues that these ideas match astronomical observations closely. One of its more striking claims is that the universe's behavior follows equations normally associated with a time-reversed black hole.

Cosmology examines how the universe has changed over roughly 14 billion years. The author expects later generations to remember 1990 to 2030 as a golden age for both theoretical and observational cosmology. He suggests we may be close to understanding dark energy and dark matter, the mysterious forms of energy and matter that make up most of what exists. Some of the material addresses the frontier of current theoretical work on those two topics.

The book condenses work by two cosmologists, one based in the United States and one in India, published between 2015 and 2020 in six peer-reviewed scientific journals. Those papers were released quietly, so the model could be explored from every angle before the author assembled them into a single volume.

It will appeal most to readers who follow the fast-moving science of cosmology and want to see the latest developments collected in one place.
