摘要

A non-singular cosmology is derived in modified gravity (MOG) with a varying gravitational coupling strength G(t)=GNξ(t)G(t)=G_N\xi(t). Assuming that the curvature kk, the cosmological constant Λ\Lambda and ρ\rho vanish at t=0t=0, we obtain a non-singular universe with a negative pressure, pG<0p_G < 0. Quantum fluctuations at t0t\sim 0 produce creation of pairs of particles from the vacuum explaining the origin of matter. The universe expands for tt\to \infty according to the standard radiation and matter dominated solutions. The arrow of time reverses at t=0t=0 always pointing in the direction of increasing entropy S{\cal S} and the entropy is at a minimum value at t=0t=0, solving the conundrum of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Hubble radius H1(t)H^{-1}(t) is infinite at t=0t=0 removing the curvature and particle horizons. The negative pressure pGp_G generated by the scalar field ξ\xi at t0t\sim 0 can produce quantum spontaneous creation of particles explaining the origin of matter and radiation.
