Feb 17th: Missing Baryonic Mass in the Universe… Found!
Astronomers have finally solved one of the outstanding mysteries in cosmology. Forget about all the dark matter and dark energy, where’s all the missing regular mass in the Universe? This has been called the “missing baryon problem”.
Feb 6th: The Crisis In Cosmology
Astronomers have made extremely accurate measurements of the expansion rate of the Universe and come up with different results. And the error bars for the observations don’t overlap, so there’s something strange going on. What’s the answer and how can the Crisis in Cosmology be resolved?
Apr 18th: Big Qs Update: Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Etc.
Knowledge moves forward, and so, we must move with it. Today we’ll give you an update on some of the most fascinating, fast-changing topics in astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology.
Oct 5th: Is There a Crisis in Cosmology?
Is there more to say about the “crisis in cosmology”? What are the fundamental disagreements? Is there any way out of this mess? Why am I talking about it again? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!
Jun 15th: Is There REALLY a Crisis in Cosmology?
How do we measure the age of the universe? Why are different methods giving different results? How do we solve this problem? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman with @PaulMattSutter at #365DaysOfAstro
Mar 15th: How You Could Overturn Cosmology
You’ve probably heard of dark matter and dark energy, but maybe you don’t fully understand what they are. Or maybe the idea itself just rubs you the wrong way and you’d like to know why scientists think they can just make stuff up like this. So you’d like to overturn cosmology? Here’s all you need to do.
Jun 20th: Hubble Constant: A Crisis in Cosmology?
Today, @DeepAstronomy will discuss with Dr. Brian Keating about the Hubble Constant, the problem and whether there this is actually a crisis in our understanding of the large scale structure of the universe and this important parameter. #365DaysOfAstro
Jan 16th: The Origin of Furbies
What’s making all these FRB’s? How to get started in cosmology? How can we see the cosmic microwave background? What’s going on with the Hubble constant?
Nov 19th: The Search for the Theory of Everything
Today we’ll look at the problem that has puzzled physicists for generations: is there a single equation that explains all the forces we see in the Universe. Is there a theory of everything?
