A better picture is given in astro-ph/9902042: The dominant contribution to R(t) in the late universe is from the cosmological
Scientific paper
A new cosmological model implies that dR/dt is constant for both t > t_c and t goes to 0, and that dR^2/dt is proportional to n_s^-1 for t_c > t > 0. Here R(t) is the cosmic scale factor, t_c is a crossover time defined in the text, and n_s is approximately constant near t_c. The behavior at intermediate times is consistent with big-bang nucleosynthesis. The behavior at short and long times offers a solution to the smoothness, monopole, and flatness problems. In addition, the long-time behavior yields a comfortably large age for the universe and predicts that the deceleration parameter q_0 is exactly zero.
