Abstract

The generic, nonrotating, homogeneous cosmological model for a closed space (Bianchi type IX) has a very complex singularity which can, however, be described in detail. It appears that only the exceptional (previous studied) cases will have particle horizons. Thus these models may lead to some insight into how the broad-scale homogeneity of the universe may have been produced at very early times.
