| dc.description | By taking seriously the limits on observability which come from combining relativistic quantum mechanics with general relativity, Ed Jones has shown that the current measurements of the cosmological constant density $Ω_Λ\sim 0.7$ imply that the temperature scale at which it becomes possible to discuss cosmological models is $\sim 5 Tev$ ($5.8\times 10^{16} \ ^oK$). This is self-consistent with the assumption that the number of Planck masses which make some sort of ``phase transition'' to this state is $N_{Pk}\sim 4\times 10^{61}$. We review Jones' argument and the {\it bit-string physics} calculation which gives the baryon-photon ratio at nucleosynthesis as $\sim 2/256^4$, the dark matter-baryon ratio as $\sim 12.7$, and hence $Ω_m \sim 0.3$, in agreement with current observations. Accepting these values for the two energy densities $Ω_Λ+Ω_m \sim 1$ in accord with recent analyses of fluctuations in the CMB showing that space is flat to about 6%. We conclude that experiments with particle accelerators in the 5-10 Tev range must either show that current theory can adequately describe the currently observed structure of our universe or force us to revise our ideas about physics at a very fundamental level. | |
