主 题:Newton’s Gravitation Constant Cosmology Fundamental Constants
摘 要:There are indications that the Newtonian gravitational constant may not be a constant but may vary with respect to some other physical parameter. Various possible characterizations of Newton’s gravitational parameter as a function of the cosmic scale parameter are proposed and studied within the framework of classical Newtonian cosmology. A number of toy cosmologies with varying Newtonian gravitational parameters are developed and analyzed. The numerical solutions to the temporal evolution of the universe from the Friedmann equation are examined and discussed as well as kinematic observables. Finally, other avenues of research are addressed.
