7.5. THE UNIVERSE 459


whereM(r) = 4 πr^3 ρ/3, andρis the mass density. Thus, (7.5.10) can be rewritten as follows


(7.5.11) r′′=−


4

πGrρ.

Make the nondimensional
r=R(t)r 0 ,


whereR(t)is the scalar factor, which is the same as in the FLRW metric (Ma and Wang,
2014e). Letρ 0 be the density atR=1. Then we have


(7.5.12) ρ=ρ 0 /R^3.


Thus, equation (7.5.11) is expressed as


(7.5.13) R′′=−


4 πG

ρ 0
R^2

,


which is the dynamic equation of Newtonian cosmology.
Multiplying both sides of (7.5.13) byR′we have
d

(R ̇^2 −

ρ 0

) = 0.


Hence, (7.5.13) is equivalent to the equation


(7.5.14) R ̇^2 =

−κ,

whereκis a constant, and we shall see thatκ=kc^2 , andk=− 1 , 0 ,or 1.


8.The Friedmann cosmology.The nonzero components of the Friedmann metric are

g 00 =− 1 , g 11 =

1 −kr^2
, g 22 =R^2 r^2 , g 33 =R^2 r^2 sin^2 θ.

Again by the Cosmological Principle (Roos, 2003 ), the energy-momentum tensor of the Uni-
verse is in the form


Tμ ν=





pc^2000
0 g 11 p 0 0
0 0 g 22 p 0
0 0 0 g 33 p




.


By the Einstein gravitational field equations

we derive three independent equations
