Does Viscosity turn inflation into the CMB and $\Lambda$

TL;DR

This paper proposes a model linking early universe inflation, entropy production, and the current acceleration, revealing a relationship between cosmological parameters and universe volume.

Contribution

It introduces a novel model connecting entropy production during CMB formation with universe evolution and cosmological parameters.

Findings

Establishes a connection between inflation and current acceleration.

Calculates the total volume of the universe based on the model.

Reveals a relationship between cosmological Omegas.

Abstract

Consideration of the entropy production in the creation of the CMB leads to a simple model of the evolution of the universe during this period which suggests a connection between the small observed acceleration term and the early inflation of a closed universe. From this we find an unexpected relationship between the Omega's of cosmology and calculate the total volume of the universe.
