Online published on 5 April, 2012. Abstract It has recently been shown that a scalar field, non-minimally coupled to space-time curvature, plays the role of a scalar field and drives the accelerated expansion of the universe. In this paper, we explore the conditions under which the energy of the scalar field may trigger the big bang. Top Keywords Big bang, Dark energy, Scalar field. Top |
