Observational Evidence for Two Cosmological Predictions Made by Bit-String Physics
A decade ago bit-string physics predicted that the baryon/photon ratio at the time of nucleogenesis {eta} = 1 1/256{sup 4} and that the dark matter/baryonic matter ratio {Omega}{sub DM}/{Omega}{sub B} = 12.7. Accepting that the normalized Hubble constant is constrained observationally to lie in the range 0.6 < h{sub 0} < 0.8, this translates into a prediction that 0.325 > {Omega}{sub M} > 0.183. This and a prediction by E.D. Jones, using a model-independent argument and ideas with which bit-string physics is not inconsistent, that the cosmological constant {Omega}{sub {Lambda}} = 0.6 {+-} 0.1 are in reasonable agreement with recent cosmological observations, including the BOOMERANG data.
