We suggest that using the first law of thermodynamics is a convenient method
to obtain a correct form of the expansion law of the universe \cite{T.
Padmanabhan1}. We will, then, use this idea to obtain the expansion law for a
Kodama observer. By using the expansion law for a Kodama observer, we can
obtain the dynamic equation of the FRW universe for deformed Horava-Lifshitz
gravity. The use of the first law of thermodynamics also leads to a new
approach for obtaining the Friedmann equations for f(R) and scalar tensor
gravities.Comment: 7 page
