Abstract

A new cosmology based on the Bose-Einstein condensation is proposed. This is a unified model of Dark Energy and Dark Matter, and predicts several collapses of BEC, followed by the final acceleration which successfully describes the recent observational results. Furthermore, this model can be extended to the early inflationary regime, and explains natural initiation of the inflation, autonomous termination of the inflation, inevitable initiation of the reheating process, autonomous adjustment of the cosmological constant to zero, and acceptable generation of density fluctuations.
