Abstract

Some simple observations are made to clear up misconceptions regarding the behavior of spatially homegeneous monotonically expanding general relativistic cosmological models at very late times, as well as to emphasize some simple features of the dynamics in the direction away from an initial singularity even in the case of recollapse. A few examples illustrating these ideas are discussed, including the derivation of some approximate solutions of the late stage field equations.
