Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Constraints on the Self-Gravity of Pressure
arXiv:0710.5300 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.77.023515
Abstract
Using big bang nucleosynthesis and present, high-precision measurements of light element abundances, we constrain the self-gravity of radiation pressure in the early universe. The self-gravity of pressure is strictly non-Newtonian, and thus the constraints we set provide a direct test of this prediction of general relativity and of the standard, Robertson-Walker-Friedmann cosmology.
