The Gravitational Energy of the Universe

Authors: Kenneth Dalton

The gravitational energy, momentum, and stress are calculated for the Robertson-Walker metric. The principle of energy conservation is applied, in conjunction with the Friedmann equations. Together, they show that the cosmological constant is non-zero, the curvature index k = 0, and the acceleration is positive. It is shown that the gravitational field accounts for two-thirds of the energy in the Universe. Keywords: dark energy = gravitational energy
