Cosmology from quantum potential in brane-anti-brane system

TL;DR

This paper proposes a string theory-based cosmological model where the universe's infinite age results from the decay of fundamental strings into brane systems, eliminating the big-bang singularity and describing universe evolution across different epochs.

Contribution

It introduces a novel string theory and M-theory framework for cosmology that removes the big-bang singularity by modeling universe formation through brane dynamics.

Findings

Universe has infinite age without big-bang singularity.

The model describes universe evolution through string decay and brane formation.

Total universe age diverges as string transition time approaches infinity.

Abstract

Recently, some authors removed the big-bang singularity and predicted an infinite age of our universe. In this paper, we show that the same result can be obtained in string theory and M-theory; however, the shape of universe changes in different epochs. In our mechanism, first, N fundamental string decay to N D0-anti-D0-brane. Then, D0-branes join to each other, grow and and form a six-dimensional brane-antibrane system. This system is unstable, broken and present form of four dimensional universes , one anti-universe in additional to one wormhole are produced. Thus, there isn't any big-bang in cosmology and universe is a fundamental string at the beginning. Also, total age of universe contains two parts, one in related to initial age and second which is corresponded to present age of universe ($t_{tot}=t_{initial}+t_{present}$). On the other hand, initial age of universe includes two parts, the age of fundamental string and time of transition ($t_{initial}=t_{transition}+t_{f-string}$). We observe that only in the case of ($t_{f-string}\rightarrow \infty$), the scale factor of universe is zero and as a result, total age of universe is infinity.
