... Taking H – a measured quantity - to be 15 Km sec-1 Mly-1 and G = 6.67x10-8 cm3 gr-1 s-2. In terms of atoms, we define the critical particle density as: ncrit 2.7 10 6 cm 3 This corresponds to 3 atoms per cubic meter. The reduced Friedmann equation is easy to solve, and it can be shown to be always a ...
