Cosmological Implications Of Heisenberg’s Principle

The aim of this book is to analyze the all important implications of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle for a finite universe with very large mass-energy content such as ours. The earlier and main contributors to the formulation of Quantum Mechanics are briefly reviewed regarding the formulation of Heisenberg’s Principle. After discussing indeterminacy versus uncertainty , the universal constants of physics are reviewed and Planck’s units are given. Next, a novel set of units, Heisenberg-Lemaitre units, are defined in terms of the large finite mass of the universe. With the help of Heisenberg’s principle, the time evolution of the finite zero-point energy for the universe is investigated quantitatively. Next, taking advantage of the rigorous solutions of Einstein’s cosmological equation for a flat, open and mixed universe of finite mass, the most recent and accurate data on the age (to) and the expansion rate (Ho) of the universe and their implications are reconsidered.
