ABSTRACT This paper deals with the dynamics of an unbounded, statistically homogeneous, and isotropic distribution of gravitating particles. As is well known, the mean density and velocity fields depend on a single function, the cosmic scale factor R{f), given by relativistic cosmology. In an approximation that is adequate for all astronomical applications, the peculiar velocity t; of a test particle is shown to satisfy the equations of motion
