We look into whether the spherical collapse model is a good approximation in a numerical relativity cosmological simulation and describe the spacetime’s evolution during nonlinear collapse. In the simulation, we evolve a quasi-spherical structure, where fully nonlinear initial conditions are provided by perturbing the ΛCDM model with the comoving curvature perturbation, defined as a 3D...
The essence of the \textit{memory burden} effect is that a load of information carried by a system stabilizes it. This universal effect is especially prominent in systems with a high capacity of information storage, such as black holes and other objects with maximal microstate degeneracy, the entities universally referred to as \textit{saturons}. The phenomenon has several implications. The...
Observations of gravitational waves (GW) from mergers of binary black holes has opened up a new door into cosmology. Due to their weak interaction with matter, we hope to observe Primordial GWs among the various signals that are expected from current and future-generation detectors. This offers a new and exciting opportunity to explore the physics of the early Universe. Quantum vacuum...
