Narlikar, J. V.Padmanabhan, T.2012-03-022012-03-021985-10-15http://hdl.handle.net/11007/80A solution of Einstein's equations which admits radiation and a negative-energy massless scalar creation field as a source is presented. It is shown that the cosmological model based on this solution satisfies all the observational tests and thus is a viable alternative to the standard big-bang model. The presentation model is from singularity and particle horizon and provides a natural explanation for the flatness problem. We argue that these features make the creation-field cosmological model theoretically superior to the big-bang model.enCreation-field CosmologyEinstein's equationsNagetive-energycosmological modelGravityArticle
