7 Astrophysics and Cosmology


Based on the black hole theorem, theorems on the structure and origin of the Universe are
proved in Section7.5.
Finally, in Section7.6, we have derived 1) the PID cosmological model of our Universe,
2) the nature of dark energy and dark matter, and 3) the gravitational force formulas.


7.1 Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics


The main objective of this section is to establish fluid dynamical models for astrophysical and
cosmological objects such as stars, galaxies, and clustersof galaxies, based on the Principle
of Symmetry-Breaking2.14.


7.1.1 Fluid dynamic equations on Riemannian manifolds


To consider astrophysical fluid dynamics, we first need to discuss the Navier-Stokes equations
on Riemannian manifolds.
Let(M,gij)be ann-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The fluid motion onMare
governed by the Navier-Stokes equations given by
