Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the centenary of Alexander Friedmann’s prediction of the Universe expansion made by him in 1922 for the case of the closed Universe and in 1924 for the open Universe. This prediction, derived mathematically on the basis of Einstein’s general relativity theory, was soon confirmed experimentally and became the basis of the modern cosmology. In a broader context, we may say that Alexander Friedmann’s prediction of the Universe expansion radically changed our picture of the world in comparison with all previous epochs and marked the beginning of the new era in understanding of the World around us. The present Special Issue will contain both research and review articles devoted to all aspects of the expanding Universe, including the problem of its origin from the cosmological singularity, inflationary stage of the Universe evolution, the cosmological scenario of the hot Universe, modern stage of the Universe expansion, astrophysics of expanding Universe, acceleration of the Universe expansion, dark matter, and dark energy. Discussions of unresolved problems and planned experiments are welcome.
