Abstract: | We consider a cosmological model consistent withobservation which not only explains the well-knownlarge-number coincidences, but also deduces the valuesof the mass, radius, and age of the universe, the Hubble constant and the cosmological constant,a relation between the pion mass and the Hubble constantknown so far only as a mysterious empirical coincidence,and other features. This model predicts an ever-expanding universe, as indeed latestastrophysical data indicate. |
