The Parallelometer: a mechanical device to study curvature
Alberto G. Rojo, David Garfinkle, Salvador Gil
A simple mechanical device is introduced, the parallelometer, that can be used to measure curvatures of surfaces. The device can be used as a practical illustration of parallel tra…
Evolution to a smooth universe in an ekpyrotic contracting phase with w > 1
David Garfinkle, Woei Chet Lim, Frans Pretorius +1
A period of slow contraction with equation of state w > 1, known as an ekpyrotic phase, has been shown to flatten and smooth the universe if it begins the phase with small perturba…
