Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Physics - Astronomy, grade: 1.00, , language: English, abstract: The 'fabric' of the model presented here consists of identical, contiguous cubes of space, each of which is occupied by a simple quantum harmonic oscillator. A possible structure is proposed for the ensemble of cubes, and it is shown also that other configurations, on all scales can exist in the ensemble, even although the members of that collection are absolutely identical. The expansion of space is considered initially from the standpoint of a universe which is not accelerating, and equations are developed which relate to this coasting condition, and, in which the Hubble parameter, H, is shown to be a function of time. These equations are extended by the inclusion of the deceleration parameter of cosmology, q, treating q as a parameter.
