ABSTRACT: The effect of the propagation delay of gravitational
interactions results in a singularity of the normalized acceleration of the
radius of a sphere representing the Universe. Stephen Hawking in his Inflation
Model also discusses a delay type interaction. This term can be used to model
the inflationary rapid expansion of the early Universe. Since the Universe is
thought to occupy all of space-time, one cannot define a boundary or radius of
the Universe. Therefore, the properties of a sphere in the Universe are analyzed. It is assumed that the Universe will behave similarly to this
sphere. This analysis is performed by including the effect of the propagation
delay of gravitational interactions in Einstein’s equation.
