Define the present critical density and cosmological density parameter bySpatial flatness with implies . Separately conserved cosmological fluids and constant-equation-of-state density scaling give and . Inserting both into the Friedmann equation yieldsThis is the constant- case of the Hubble parameter for matter and dynamical dark energy.
