Description

One of the most active areas of research in cosmology today involves trying to understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy. In this work we will look at the cosmological background expansion of a universe model filled with a Radiation-Baryon-Chaplygin Gas fluid system. We will show that such a model can solve the dark matter and dark energy problems, at least at the level of the background expansion.
