Introducing the Dirac-Milne universe

Aurélien Benoit-Lévy, Gabriel Chardin

The ΛCDM standard model, although an excellent parametrization of the present cosmological data, requires two as yet unobserved components, Dark Matter and Dark Energy, for more th…

Gravitational entropy of black holes and wormholes

Gustavo E. Romero, Romain Thomas, Daniela Pérez

Pure thermodynamical considerations to describe the entropic evolution of the universe seem to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This suggests that the gravitational field…
