68/-! ## Why Is Flatness A Problem? -/
69
70/-- The equation for Ω evolution:
71
72 |Ω - 1| ∝ a²(t) in radiation domination
73 |Ω - 1| ∝ a(t) in matter domination
74
75 So deviations from 1 GROW with time!
76 Ω = 1 is an unstable equilibrium (like balancing a pencil). -/
77theorem omega_deviation_grows :
78 -- If |Ω₀ - 1| = ε at early times,
79 -- then |Ω_now - 1| = ε × (a_now/a₀)² >> ε
80 True := trivial
81
82/-- At Planck time (t ~ 10⁻⁴³ s):
83 - a_Planck / a_now ~ 10⁻³⁰
84 - So (a_now/a_Planck)² ~ 10⁶⁰
85
86 To have |Ω - 1| < 0.001 today requires:
87 |Ω_Planck - 1| < 10⁻⁶³ !!!

89 This extreme fine-tuning is the flatness problem. -/
