|  Quintessence | 
In General
  > s.a. cosmology; fine-structure constant;
  generalized cosmological models.
  * Idea: A possibly
    time-varying, inhomogenous cosmological scalar field with canonical
    kinetic terms and negative pressure (for example, described by a
    tachyonic field), rolling down a potential, that may be responsible
    for the late accelerated expansion of the universe.
  * Issue: How can it be distinguished
    from a cosmological constant? Or another field like a Chaplygin gas?
