Abstract
Making use of supersymmetry breaking selection rules under local n = 2 conf ormal supersymmetry we are able to obtain a normalizable wavefunction (at z ero energy) of the universe for the ERW cosmological model (k = 0). For thi s purpose it is necessary to 'weight' the inner product with the scalar fac tor R. The appropriate Hermitian operators are constructed and the expectat ion value of R is calculated giving us the size of the universe.
