A Cosmological Model with both Radiation and Matter

Nature volume 215, pages 36–37 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

Previous models of the universe based on the “big bang” theory have set various times for the period when the density of matter became equal to the density of radiation. This model sets this limit at about 6.7 per cent of the present age of the universe and has an advantage because it explains what happens in the early as well as the late stages of the life of the universe.
