Flat matter-radiation conformal solution
ID: flat-matter-radiation-conformal-solution
For a spatially flat FLRW metric containing conserved pressureless matter and radiation in cosmology, with and conformal time zero at the Big Bang, the Friedmann equation gives . Separating the positive square root gives the displayed scale factor. At matter-radiation equality, and . Here the prime denotes differentiation with respect to , not .
