"Applying Thermodynamics to Explain the Universe's Expansion"
A study published in Results in Physics uses the Grüneisen parameter from thermodynamics to describe the expansion of the universe, suggesting that the accelerating expansion is adiabatic and anisotropic. The research proposes that the Grüneisen parameter is time-dependent in the dark energy-dominated era and could lead to a novel interpretation of the expansion of the universe in terms of thermodynamics and condensed matter physics. The study also explores the relationship between the expansion of the universe and fundamental concepts in thermodynamics, offering a new perspective on the dynamics associated with the universe's expansion.
