T. Banks (Runhetic, Rutgers University), W.Fischler (University of, Texas, Austin)
TL;DR
The paper presents the Holographic Space-time (HST) model of cosmology, proposing a framework compatible with observations that predicts an early structure formation era before the Big Bang, with potential implications for dark matter and baryon asymmetry.
Contribution
It introduces the HST cosmological model, linking holographic principles to early universe structure formation and its potential to explain dark matter and baryon asymmetry.
Findings
Compatible with current cosmological observations
Predicts an early era of structure formation before the Big Bang
Potential to explain dark matter and baryon asymmetry
Abstract
This essay outlines the Holographic Space-time (HST) theory of cosmology and its relation to conventional theories of inflation. The predictions of the theory are compatible with observations, and one must hope for data on primordial gravitational waves or non-Gaussian fluctuations to distinguish it from conventional models. The model predicts an early era of structure formation, prior to the Big Bang. Understanding the fate of those structures requires complicated simulations that have not yet been done. The result of those calculations might falsify the model, or might provide a very economical framework for explaining dark matter and the generation of the baryon asymmetry.
