Bit-string physics prediction of {eta}, the dark matter/baryon ratio and {Omega}{sub M}
Using a simple combinatorial algorithm for generating finite and discrete events as their numerical cosmology, the authors predict that the baryon/photon ratio at the time of nucleogenesis is {eta} = 1/256{sup 4}, {Omega}{sub DM}/{Omega}{sub B} = 12.7 and (for a cosmological constant of {Omega}{sub {Lambda}} = 0.6{+-}0.1 predicted on general grounds by E.D.Jones) that 0.325 > {Omega}{sub M} > 0.183. The limits are set not by their theory but by the empirical bounds on the renormalized Hubble constant of 0.6 < h{sub 0} < 0.8. If the authors impose the additional empirical bound of t{sub 0} < 14 Gyr, the predicted upper bound on {Omega}{sub M} falls to 0.26. The predictions of {Omega}{sub M} and {Omega}{sub {Lambda}} were in excellent agreement with Glanz' analysis in 1998, and are still in excellent agreement with Lineweaver's recent analysis despite the reduction of observational uncertainty by close to an order of magnitude.
