Four Testable Predictions of Instanton Cosmology

Abstract

A new cosmological model makes the following predictions: (1) The deceleration parameter $q_0$ is approximately zero. (2) The mass density parameter ${\Omega }_m$ is less than 1. (3) The universe is spatially closed, but is asymptotically flat as $t\to \infty$, regardless of its matter content. (4) The age of the universe is approximately 15 Gyr if the Hubble parameter $h$ is approximately 0.65.
