  • Is the Big Rip unreachable?
    Dimopoulos, Konstantinos

    Physics letters. B, 10/2018, Letnik: 785
    Journal Article

    I investigate the repercussions of particle production when the Universe is dominated by a hypothetical phantom substance. I show that backreaction due to particle production prevents the density from shooting to infinity at a Big Rip, but instead forces it to stabilise at a large constant value. Afterwards there is a period of de-Sitter inflation. I speculate that this might lead to a cyclic Universe.
