A Modified FRW Metric to Explain the Cosmological Constant

TL;DR

This paper proposes a modified Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric where the universe spins slowly, potentially accounting for the cosmological constant and dark energy through rotational energy.

Contribution

It introduces a new cosmological model with a rotating universe to explain dark energy and the cosmological constant.

Findings

Rotational energy matches the observed matter-energy content.

Universe spins with angular frequency equal to the Hubble constant.

Provides a simple argument linking rotation to dark energy.

Abstract

One of the most outstanding problems of the standard model of cosmology today is the problem of cosmological constant/dark energy. It corresponds to about 73 per cent of the energy content of the universe gone missing. I hereby postulate a modified FRW metric for our universe, which animates a universe spinning rigidly but very slowly with an angular frequency that is equal to the Hubble constant. It is shown by a simple argument that in such a universe there will be an overlooked rotational energy whose average value is identically equal to the matter-energy content of this universe as observed by a coordinate observer.
