Big
Bang Nucleosynthesis
|
|
|
|
– |
T,
both high enough at start to fuse protons
into heavier
|
|
elements
|
|
|
|
– |
T,
both dropping quickly so only have time enough to
|
|
|
fuse
a certain amount.

Simple models of expansion predict 25% abundance
He
|
|
|
|
• |
25% is the amount of He observed
|
|
|
|
– |
Abundance of 2H, 3He,
7Li depends on normal matter
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Suggests normal matter is only 5% of critical
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
But we need to also consider “dark matter” and its gravity
