2. No, because pj<br />

= − D<br />

=<br />

1<br />

for all j, then this is an isotropic<br />

−1<br />

universe. This shows that the Kasner metric cannot describe an isotropic<br />

universe if Kasner conditions are applied.<br />

3. It is necessary to incorporate the fact that we are applying p to all three<br />

expanding dimensions and q to all n contracting dimensions. So the Kasner<br />

conditions are − 3p+ nq= 1, 3p + nq = 1.<br />
