In 1959 Lyttleton and Bondi suggested that the expansion of the Universe could be explained if matter carried a net charge. Suppose that the Universe is made up of hydrogen atoms with a number density N, which is maintained a constant. Let the charge on the proton be: ep=−(1+y)e where e is the electronic charge. Find the critical value of y such that expansion may start

Explanation- let us consider that universe is of radius R
And we know that hydrogen is made up one electron and proton so net charge is
-(1+y)e+e = -ye
Now the number of hydrogen atom in the universe = N
So total charge is = -ye N
