Abstract
Equations are obtained for the local rate of creation of gravitons in a Friedmann universe, filled with a relativistic perfect gas consisting of particles with nonzero rest mass. It is shown that as the singularity is approached, when ɛ → 3P, the rate of creation increases as the energy density in the universe and can for this reason become arbitrarily large.
