Speakable and unspeakable in cosmology: dark matter vs. gravitational self energies. Hubble's constant, the cosmological term and all that

TL;DR

This paper critiques current cosmological models, emphasizing the importance of gravitational self-energy and particle creation, suggesting we may reside within an expanding black hole, and aims to reconcile observations with Planck scale physics.

Contribution

It introduces the significance of gravitational self-energy and particle creation in cosmology, proposing a new perspective on universe evolution and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

Findings

Gravitational self-energy is crucial for accurate cosmological estimates.

Particle creation fundamentally influences universe evolution.

Possibility that we live inside an expanding black hole.

Abstract

The inadequacy of the present cosmological picture is underlined. The central issue of energy and particles-photons number conservation is addressed. It is shown that consideration of gravitational self energy is paramount both for matter and for radiation to bring present data estimates of matter and radiation density and the radius of the universe towards agreement with the Planck scale quantities from which it should have consistently evolved. Particle creation is proven to play a fundamental role in the evolution of the Universe. It is argued that we might be living inside an expanding black hole.
