Toward a solution of the coincidence problem
arXiv:0806.2116 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.78.021302
Abstract
The coincidence problem of late cosmic acceleration constitutes a serious riddle with regard to our understanding of the evolution of the Universe. Here we argue that this problem may someday be solved -or better understood- by expressing the Hubble expansion rate as a function of the ratio of densities (dark matter/dark energy) and observationally determining the said rate in terms of the redshift.
