Summary
Alexander Friedmann: Relativistic Cosmology
Alexander Friedmann (1888–1925), a Russian mathematician and cosmologist, set the first and only path in the history of cosmology, the theory of the expansion of the universe by offering a non-stationary solution to the cosmological problem based on the general theory of relativity. And according to that theory, the universe is on average homogeneous and isotropic, matter of medium density, where the relative speeds of movement of two cosmic objects increase in proportion to their mutual distance. Friedman's theory is the basis of the entire modern cosmology, because it showed the elementary derivation of the law of the expansion of the universe, its structure and metrics, the density of its matter, the curvature of space-time, the superlight speed of movement, the exact formula and physical interpretation of the red shift, and also the electric charge in the universe and its mass.
