Fundamental cosmological information has come from the Hubble parameter whose present value can be used to determine the approximate age of the Universe. Indeed, since the first obvious candidate is R/c where R stands for the dimension of the visible Universe and c for the velocity of light. Hence

Numerically, with the value it yields

But, interestingly there is another quantity which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been considered so far with the same dimensions

which yields the same result for , where stands for the nucleon mass and for the nucleon number . These two figures are taken from [1]. The two values coincide as they should. In that case one immediately obtains

i. e.

the well known black hole (b.h.) condition which supports the suggestion by [2]. The preceding equation embodies the striking relation between the age of the Universe and its mass content. Now tautologically in the past the age must have been smaller and this implies that the (visible) mass must have been less or in other words that there has been matter creation. Restraining for simplicity to the matter dominated regime i.e. the post CMB times (where we have the situation represented in Fig.1)

Age of the Universe as a function of its mass content . Horizontal line General Relativity (GR) matter conserving assumption. Slanted line matter nonconserving b.h. approach; starting for the present values of M (and R) it predicts a decrease in the matter dominated era by roughly 3 orders of magnitude. M expressed in terms of the number of nucleon N masses.

Thus the linear relation between mass and radius can be regarded as almost model independent. Indeed it is also valid for Planck quantities

so that must be constant in times as proved in [3] . The description of the Universe evolution as a gigantic and evolving black hole (b.h.), has encountered many objections. In particular how is it possible the development to the present unconventional one with a big mass in a large volume obeying however the same relation of a conventional tiny and very dense one i.e. the Planck where gravitation and Q.M. succesfully combine. In fact this condition which essentially corresponds to energy conservation does not correspond to a minimum in energy. Indeed if we allow a perturbation in R at the Planck era

we cannot have shrinking with a radius smaller than the Planck one and a bigger one naturally entails a correspondingly increase in the mass. The same argument also holds true also for later times even if a smaller radius cannot be discarded in principle. However the same observation remains valid : no restoring force ! Consider indeed the radiation dominated era where the mass is given by Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). because the cosmological potential is not a state function, which predicts a steady expansion represents the "misterious force" (dark energy) which balances gravitational attraction. So self energy is seen to provide the repulsive force [4] since it increases the total energy when particles move away. This shows the misleading parallelism with Newtonian treatment which is seen to represent correctly only a local description of gravitation and the inadequacy of GR and therefore of the Lambda CDM model to account for reality. In this connection it is worth stressing that the reported supernovae acceleration is a model dependent effect existing only in the standard treatment and disappearing in the present approach. The (im)possibility of detecting matter non conservation in present times has already been considered in [5]. The new term in Eq.[6] may be related at present to the GR "cosmological constant" as a vacuum (v) density of the order of

to be compared to the same quantity at Planck (P) times

with the notorious ratio of ,[6]. Of course at earlier times we would have different "cosmological constants".

Of course in principle both possibilities exist i.e. increase and decrease in R with constant . In the first case M/R remains constant at the price of a decreasing temperature ( ) which is what is actually observed. In the second case the opposite should happen in contrast to actuality.

The possibility of perturbing to a smaller radius (at constant mass) would result in energy violation since the negative self energy would overcompensate the mass. In other words again only a bigger radius is possible (smaller self energy) and mass creation is demanded to restore energy balance.

In the case of the matter dominated era even if photons are a very small fraction of nucleons the above argument remains true. A contraction would decrease the photon wavelength (anti CMB) and this implies that also for nucleons expansion is the only possibility. Thus the particle mass content simply increases.

Thus expansion in the radiation dominated era would correspond, loosely speaking, to the Boltzmann thermal death whereas in the matter dominated era (where ( nucleons are non relativistic ) the negative heat capacity would allow the birth of structures.




Consider now the density given in the b.h. model by


which, in line with the previous arguments, reads

This has to be compared with the critical density of the standard GR treatment in flat space


This represents probably a rather unexpected result in the sense, first, that it seems to suggest that a sort of black hole description is contained also in a particular GR formulation, but with a numerical difference. This point can be understood by remembering that (probably inspired by a non relativistic origin) appears in GR with the coefficient $1/2$ and that in the given case (without the cosmological constant) also GR describes the same situation of the black hole model i.e. indefinite expansion consistent with energy conservation determined only by the density. Of course the difference between the two theories lies in the acceleration equation where the mass variation, necessary to account mainly for the time dependent age of the Universe provides the repulsive agent. The halved $\rho$ has implications for the amount of the presumed dark energy in that it proves how this quantity be model dependent.

In the b.h. model there is no critical density. The given one, smaller than the GR's, is just of the right amount predicted by the model and the expansion, accompanied by matter creation and density decrease in time, happens independent of the Universe curvature. That must have evolved becoming flatter and flatter from the Planck radius to the present one ( standing for the curvature radius) i.e. a Universe in the matter era essentially flat. A totally different scenario than the GR one, which as regards curvature probably suffers from being an essentially static, matter conserving, one. This also determines the fate of the Universe : no big crunch, nor big bounce but a density decrease which might anyway foresee the possibility of more diluted structure formation due to the negative heat capacity of gravitation.


So an innocent looking, unassuming relation turns out to produce two equations which reproduce and correct the cherished GR ones in the Friedman's metric without the epicycle add-ons criticized by Perlmutter \cite {perl}
