Induced energy polarization of the vacuum and the resulting cosmology
The theory of an induced energy polarized vacuum provides an alternative to the standard cosmological model. The theory has previously been shown to lead to the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relationship [1], to agree with the observed rotation curve of the Galaxy [2], to readily produce the observed features in the rotational curves of other spiral galaxies [3], and to agree with observations of the Coma cluster [4]. All without the need for any free parameters. The theory of an induced energy polarized vacuum is now applied to superclusters. From a model of the distribution of superclusters, the overall density parameter of universe as given by the theory of an induced energy polarized vacuum is Omega = 0.94 plus/minus 0.23. This is consistent with a geometrically flat universe. In addition, by treating the superclusters as unbound systems, the theory leads to an accelerating expansion of the universe in line with observations and without requiring the need for dark energy.
