Description

We present a complete quantum mechanical description of a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with equation of state p=ρ. We find a detailed correspondence with our heuristic picture of such a universe as a dense black hole fluid. Features of the geometry are derived from purely quantum input
